50-55mph, and yeah it hurts... wear gear and don't skimp on the pants.  (pants were my weak link)

i'm still in the second group...so i'm sure i'll resurrect this thread when that most unfortunate day comes. 

i'm with middlem2 - my gloves suck. Thanks to the experience of friends i've never met, i'm getting new gloves today. 

60-65mph

ruffly 60, bottomed out the suspension, and washed the front end out with the eh stock tires at deals gap (AKA GRAVITY CAVITY)

jeans destroyed, lucky only Had a good deep scratch,
hair line fracture in left arm, bent tank with aim
rapped the muffler into the rear wheel
snapped the right fairing in two
scraped up the left fairing
broke every single mounting tab for the head light and front fairing
hurt my neck
and one hell of a rush

Note:  Wife takes the Honda Beginners course in two weeks.  I hope she wants a sport bike, maybe a CBR600RR so we can switch back and forth and also ride together.......

For the sake of your family, I hope she DOESN'T want a CBR600RR.

0 MPH...    Quick stopped with the handlebars far from straight...  Having 100lbs worth of woman on the back didn't help with holding it up either. 

Luckily I dropped it in some grass.

45-50mph

100 - 110 km/h

Kangaroo + corner + inexperience = bad

I've had a roo run out in front of me but luckily he kept going and didn't stop as I sure wouldn't have been able too.   

3rd gear + 9500 rpm + 90* left hander + sand + cold tires + new front tire = low side at 65 mph

This was at the track. Slide for about 40-50 feet. No big deal.

Thanks for the link to the wipe out you had.  I will be buying pants also.  Might get a little hot at the stop lights in the summer, but seems it is a better alternative than getting my legs ground up on pavement.


Now then, why not a CBR600RR?  RR is race ready!  I thought one would go well with my GS500F, sort of a good mix.

about 10000-11000 rpm in 5th
i was informed it was quite spectacular
20 ft in the air before rag dolling it into the grass

Never layed the GS down.  Fastest I have evered layed a bike down was going into corner 5 at Road America on a Fast by Feracci Ducati 851 in 1987 during a AMA Pro Twins practice session.  I was still at triple digits when I lost the front end while on the brake just after starting the turn in for the corner.  Sustained a sprained ankle and that was it.  What made it funny is that my brother arrived at the corner just after I crashed and saw the bike on one side of the track and me on the other.  He knew that couldn't be good. He was right, I was waiting for the crash truck.

Braking and at about 15mph coming into a junction the car behind me saw L plates and hell broke loose - they actually knocked me off the road before speeding off. And then about 10-15mph on a roundabout on oil/diesel leak from a lorry - complained to the local council and now they put that powdery stuff on it everynight! to protect bikers like us from oil spils. 1-0 to me 

About 90 or 95 mph at Streets of Willow Raceway.
