THE ACCIDENT POLL THREAD
They all saidriding a motorcycle is dangerous. I laughed. Many bikers said "There are two types of bikers...those who went down and those that are going down." I laughed. They said "It's not a matter of "if" but "when." Again, I laughed.
Then I went down. (I didn't laugh.)
This made me think....I wonder what percentage of riders have gone down?
If you click on this thread please take the poll above. That way we can get a more accurate sampling.
If you haven't gone down, I sincerely hope you never do. Ride safe!

Yup! Low-sided a few times trying too hard or trying to avoid a wreck - and t-boned a VW bug that ran a stop sign ...OOPS!
other than that - - I'm older and more careful, now. I've learned that they ARE out to get'cha.

Yeah, going down sucks. Riding on and off for 22 years and this is the first time I went down. I don't count tipping over while sitting still, that is just to easy to do with an 800 pound bike.
I was very fortunate because I did $10,338.58 worth of damage to the bike and only suffered a few minor scratches on my arms. That was only because I went sleeveless that day. The insurance agent said for 10 Grand I could at least fake a limp.
