Maybe I'm a bit sensitive. It's really frustrating not knowing why I went down.
I've lost the rear a number of times, I've hydroplaned, I've lost traction on both wheels at a pretty fair clip, and never put a bike down.
Could be the brand new tires, you need to scrub them in gradually. Riding is tough. I haven't crashed on the road for 3 years but have had close calls with over speed into corners. There was one odd one this year where I was target fixated onto a decent size rock about 3"x2" maybe and ran over that rock which totally threw off the steering of my bike.
My two crashes have had to do with locking up the rear tire at under 20 km/h on wet road.
Went for a ~450km yesterday in the Crowsnest Pass and Waterton with a friend of mine. He laid out a great route. Absolutely perfect biking weather.
I'll post some more photos and the route later. I've now put just about 1,000kms on the bike in a couple weeks. The previous owner did 1,6xx in two years. ![:rofl2:](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/rofl.gif)
That's awesome! I don't know why people buy bikes and never ride them. My CB300F had only 1950 km when I bought it from Wing last July, mind you it was registered for less just a tad under a year when I bought it. I just rolled over 10,000 km last week

The R3 doesn't like urban traffic (it's mean for backroads and track use, not sitting at lights) but it is nice to not have to pay for parking and just park the bike nearly anywhere. Speed cameras suck though.
Scooter time?
