Glad you're OK, but I completely disagree with that mindset/old wives tale. I know PLENTY of life long riders who have never gone down. I also know guys who have gone down multiple times, but the fact remains, not everyone who rides, eventually goes down. Not wondering if, but when, just seems like a defeatist way to think. Personally, I put that **** right outta my mind. I don't pull out of the garage thinking, is this the day I'm gonna crash?

Anyway, again, glad you're OK.
