i have never laid my bikes down. well i take that back, i have laid, droped, fliped, and thrown my old r6 but that was a stunt bike. but i have also owned two gsxr's and i have never laid either of them down. I have been riding on and off for about 4-5 yrs now. i have come reaaaaaly close though, mostly due to people pulling out in front of me and such.
