anyone never been down ?
 
seems like every one i talk to has stories of goin down,except me..NOT THAT I WANT ONE !!..i started riding in '67 or '68 ,i was nine or ten racing dirt bikes till i was 18..came off the bike a bunch of times as you would expect in the dirt...started riding street bikes in the early eighty's,there were i few years here and there i didnt ride but i have at least a solid 25 years on the street and about 100,000+ miles under my belt..lots of CLOSE calls...but never went down,now im 56 and thinkin..man this is gonna hurt! lol,,i used to tell my wife its not if i go down..its a matter of when..sh*t happens...but thankfully not yet. i think im a good rider yet i know i have bad habits too and an advanced riders course would be good to point out my bads and sharpen my skills.just wondering if you have had the same luck. i know skill is important,yet there must be some luck envolved...is mine running out ? lol

Kinda' reminds me of the old saying about women: "There are those that have and those that will."

are we talking about "my foot slipped while trying to maneuver into a parking spot" or hitting the pavement hard and tearing up stuff, including our bodies?

Coot...Bad news brother :icon_emm: There are only three kinds of riders.

1. Those that have gone down.
2. Those that are going down.
3. Those that are going down again.

You're a 2
