Almost 50k and riding everything 2 wheels since about 15. Didn't think it would ever happen until 2 years ago, when I decided to be stupid...



I think someone can make it their whole riding "career" without going down, just not me. Damnit.

I went down once, well sort of... In 98 on my F3 I was headed home with a group from the beach where I turned my ankle really bad playing volleyball (turned out I had a high ankle sprain). We pulled in a very full gas station to fill up and I went up to the pump, put my foot down the ankle gave out and I ended up under the bike.
Quite a site in front of the whole gas station full of people.

so far so good. only 12k street miles (leve me alone i got my license in march this year) and havent been down yet . Had a bunch of close calls with some cars, one of them resulted in my buddy on a zx6-r getting t-boned by a car and me just barely missing it so i'm considering myself lucky

"You begin your riding life with two buckets - a bucket of luck that is full, and a bucket of experience that is empty. The trick is to fill the experience bucket before the other bucket is empty."


Good luck. We've all been there.

I've never been down.....on the street! On the dirt - oh God...that's another matter.
