Default Percent of people who dropped their bike?

Hey did anyone find any stats on the percentage of people who laided down/crashed/dropped their bike within the first 2 years of riding? is it somewhere within the 90%'s?

I have no official stats, but I would imagine that within the first two years almost everyone has tipped it over at a stop at least.

I've had mine for two years never laid down or even dropped in the driveway but I think thats only because my plastics are ****e if I had a pretty shiny bike I'm sure I would have dropped it by now

I'd say about 98% of sportbikes are dropped in the 1st two years

There's two types of riders in this word. Those that have fallen....and those that will. Whether it's in two years or twenty. My uncle used to talk sht, "I've been riding for such and such years, and never dropped a bike" Then one day, a lil old lady pulled out in front of him, instead of T-boning her he layed it down and slid into her, my cousin on the back suffered a broken arm and leg, he broke both arms, left leg and his back.
One of these days.....
