Got hit yesterday
By a wheel that came off an SUV. I was sitting at an offramp waiting to make a left turn when I hear this screeching scraping noise, then out of the corner of my eye I see a Lincolne SUV sliding down the road sans his left front wheel, which was headed right at me. Tried to move the bike but the wheel hit my front end. I kept the bike upright but the front end got tweeked pretty bad. Was able to ride it to the dealer but to keep the bike going straight I had to **** the bars to the right and the front wheel was wobleing all over the place. So my question is, in the 25 + years that I have been riding on the street I havent been down, does this count, even though technicaly I didnt go down?

I don't think it counts as beeing down. Your record stands.
Imagine being next to that suv at 70 miles an hour when that wheel came off!
Could of been a disaster at the least.
I'm glad your ok.
