If I was on dirt, I'd probably ride about 4 mph the whole time!

 

none yet, but relatively new to riding, borrowed my bike once and like Mike, it was then that it was laid down. By my uncle. don't ask.

 

Never...no plans to do so either

 

I've laid a bike down once....my 750 Seca in the middle of an intersection. I was waitingto make a left turnat a 4-way signaled intersection. The person facing me was waiting to turn left, so I initiated my turn. Just as I did, some impatient a-hole popped out from behind him and came at me. I was fairly in-experienced at the time and instead of staightening up and applying both brakes, I just slammed the front....mainly because it happened so fast. Fork locked left and down I went. Not many thingsmore embarassing than having to pick up abike from the middle of the road.

 

unless you count dropping it sideways in the grass in my yard with no damage whatsoever, then zero and i plan to keep it that way.

 

+1 Have no plans to mess up my nice jacket or helmet!

In the dirt is another story.

 

I only had one. I was taking a...um....a nice slow turn (a hairpin is what I like to call it lol) and there was gravel on the side of the road and thats all shewrote. Laid downmy brand new zx6 on her left side(but that was when I was a beginner[8D]). I plan on getting a new fairing before summer starts...I wanna give her a face lift

 

You never plan on crashing. It just happens. But dress like you are going to.

I've been riding for over 31 years. Only went down on street once.
Took a right turn at an intersection about 25-30, bike hit something slick, I think it was diesel fuel. Highsided and
flew off the left side of the bike. Had a concussion and a seperated left shoulder.

The more you ride, the more chances are going to come to up to crash. It's inevitable. I was getting gas one day in my full leathers. A guy in a cage asked if I planned on crashing. I said no, I plan on walking away.

We are all going to die. May as well die doing something you love.

 

Good words to live by, Kevin.

 

once. just picked up my bike, too impatient to ride it, so i took it out in the rain. hit something slick, grabbed a handful of brake.
