Default Who's actually never gone down?

For the pervs that thought otherwise.. I was talking about on your bike.

Who has never dropped a bike? I hear from a lot of people dropping their bikes, there's got to be people that have ridden for a long time and never dropped one. I just started riding, so I can't really say much for my self.

Well, I have dropped one several times, but not in about the last 10 years. About 10,000 street miles per year, maybe 1,500 track miles per year last two years.

I had not gone down in 9 years of riding until this past february. Don't ever say you wont because it will happen when you least expect it... I was riding along beautiful weather for two days and came around a curve and the shade had been enough to not allow the snow to melt and down I went.... Nothing I could have done about it, but you get back up and keep going..

My last off was in 1969, or maybe 1970? Getting old & can't remember. Sh*t maybe I have come off since then & can't remember that either
I have had a lot of close calls over the years though, basically due to dumb luck, last time I nearly went **** over apex was this time last year, When a wombat decided to take a leisurely stroll across the Bucketts Way (road) & I had to take a detour on the gravel.

I've never gone down. In the first week that I had the bike, I dropped it (meaning it fell over while I was stopped), but I've never been in an accident.
