Hi-Sided a Kawasaki in the mid 80's at about 70 mph.
There wasn't much left of the bike (totalled).
Road Rash, borken arm and bruised ego.
Clocked a Suzuki about a year later (showing off my wheelie skills for some girls).
Similar outcome... the bike was damaged pretty badly..
I had road rash and a banged up wrist for a while... can't remember if I broke anything that time.

Good, I take comfort in knowing even the experieneced guys have did stupid things once before. 
Leaned over gravel once at low speeds, and bike went down... nothing happened at all. Frame Slider saved everything.
then...
I was cut off (almost ran into), and I crashed into some mailboxes at 45-50mph, tried my hardest and kept he bike up somehow. Bruised ego made me replace the entire body, even though the front was only damaged.

I've debating if I want a dirtbike, maybe I will some day. I want to check out that Sunday ride, but people will probably get bike jacked at a stoplight these days.
BTW, I love what you put under "Car"
