Default Does this count?

So everyone says you'll always go down at least once, and I haven't been down on any of my bikes (not yet and I hope not to) so its been in the back of my mind as I ride, man someday that guy will just pull out or I'll eat chit w/e. Then I remembered about 2 years ago I had already been down and learned quite a bit from the experience, I was on my friends 2008 ninja 250 and ate it in a corner it was like my 4th time on it. I know anything can happen at any moment and to always be prepared but for laughs do you think this counts hurhur.

well this thread would be worthless without pics so LET THERE BE PICTURES!!!

(more or less I found these and was like hah I remember this and remember how bad it hurt. GOOD THING I HAD GEAR ON IT SAVED MY FACE)

Yeah that definitely counts.

And serves as a great reminder why I'll never let anyone ride my bike

It actually wasn't that bad, the bike got wrecked so much because it flew into a rock wall, into the air did a flip and hit the wall again. I just slid down the road.

Ohh wow, the damage is crazy. It's good you came out unscratched.

And yes, this definitely counts. Wrecking a bike, hell yeah!

Well i wouldn't say unscratched, had some bad road rash on my legs from my jeans rippin and commin apart, had sneakers on and my ankle got rashed almost to the bone, and some knuckles got some pavement (my friends gloves didn't fit me). Didn't want to go to the hospital for anything so I drove to rite-aid and just bandaged myself up, good thing I have a medic for a father hur hur. helmet saved the most important part of me tho.
