LOL...

Buddy, you better knock on wood as soon as possible because there is always the BIG ONE! Going down sucks and I'm doing good now keeping the rubber side down but I would rather have a few walk away crashes than the BIG ONE my friend! We all hope you never go down... In this case, I really want you to prove the saying wrong.

It's not the years that count..???? It's the mileage accumulated... I know a guy who's been riding for about 30 years. He only rides in the summer months (3) here on the NorthEast, never in the rain and does about 200 miles a year. Not much of a rider....

I dumped mine last year while doing the MSF course. I was being cocky and got a reality check from the guy upstairs.

I've been riding for about 15 years, and have never been down. I've been forced off the road numerous times, in the ditch or in other lanes, but have never laid a bike down. I can't make myself put a bike on the ground the do the ole' on the side skid.. I'd rather keep ahold of the handlebars and ride it out. That method has served be well thus far.

Hahaha..
I've ridden more miles on my built ricers over 140 than you could possibly imagine with your limited brain, and were talking 80's motorcycles....
Huffy... You would soil yourself with some of the Suzukis and Kawasakis I had built.
I admit I was extremely stupid and I was very VERY lucky to get through my younger years, but it still doesn't mean everyone bites the dust..

Aah Ha.... You just used the word lucky. You did!.... Your previous post stated maybe it's not luck... It was being a better rider. C'mon dude, you gotta admit, on the street it's part LUCK..
