Dropped it / Laid it down = forms of Crashing

Demanding people be absolutely correct in each and every term/noun/verb/adjective a person uses when posting on a website about things so, so, so important as "motorcycles" = Asshatish behavior.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter what YOU call what HE did does it?

Perfect. Well said and I concur.

Ahh, no "I had to lay it down" is a very lame excuse for saying you crashed.

From a guy with a right leg, above the knee prosthetic, I ride primarily front brake and know your pain.

As a "bee keeper" your better off taking the sting. Unless their in attack mode if you hold your breath it sometimes persudes them not to sting.
