Only once on a wet back road after being detoured because of an accident. Going about 20 through an easy left turn, and the front tire washed out on me. The bike has a few scratches on the left side, nothing major, and I got away with just a little rash on my elbow, after my jacket sleeve came unbuttoned and rode up my arm. Gloves saved my hands, head never hit the ground. Two days later, I my Joe Rocket jacket finally came in...

I personally haven't fallen...yet. I had a near death experience with my dads V-Max though. I damn near fell while ridin' really slo around my old apartment complex. It was my first time on a bike and dumbass didn't tell me that I REALLY HAD NO BUSINESS giving the v-max a little throttle. Let's just say that i'm living proof that newb's shouldn't be anywhere near anything over a 600. Karma's a bitch! Dumbass was ridin' his bike home from work about 2 weeks ago after a slight drizzle. Needless to say, i'm glad he didn't feel like the guys at occ, cause the helmet is screwed, that rash on that right arm looks a little infected, and the 1200 dollar bike repair is still underway. I aint ever ridin without protection!

Twice...

I was dumped off the back of a bike on Hillsborough Ave last year. He told me to "hold on"..I thought he just meant "sit up"...he hit the throttle, and down I went...ass first. God did that hurt.

A few months ago I dropped my own bike (2003 GSXR 600) on SR 54 and Little Road, by the Walmart. I got caught in the rain, I hit a patch of oily loose gravel, and down I went.

3 times when learning to ride. I was on a Honda Rebel 450, first time I hit my friend's neighbor's house, second time I hit a palm tree, third time I hit a mailbox. The house was definitely the worst one.

You crazy kids and your sport bikes. I can run a full wheelstand with a passenger who isn't holding on. You know why? Sissy bar. I've lifted the front of my Harley and my Magna without warning before. Scared girls are hot!
