My dad laid his over after 25000 miles of riding without laying one down, actually he had just said something about how long it was since the last time he wrecked a bike, (30 years ago), luckily it was in a parking lot, just from not being ready for the weight of his bike. My mom laid hers over on main street here in town not long after getting her license, another lucky one, only going 5-10 MPH.

[QUOTE=1slow01Z71;4678051]I was just sore more than anything. Unfortunately I was on my way to a bar to meet up with some buddies so I didnt have my jacket or even jeans on since we were going to be outdoors and it was summer time. All I had on was gloves and a helmet. The helmet didnt even hit the ground, what saved my *** was the gloves. I somehow did a push-up and kept the bulk of myself off the asphalt.
Bet that was fun to explain to the responding officer

I have a 15 month old myself. Hence the reason I never bought one. I'll have fun in my 4,500lb pig instead.

I can safely say.. not me. I dont race my truck. Now, when I had my old Camaro, yes, I used to frequent the street races, but that was a 2 lane bridge with nothing but concrete barriers on both sides (one way traffic) and people slowed behind us.. and the kicker.. I wasnt drinking.
You wanna play around, no problem, do it where there isnt innocent people and dont drink. Theres a time and a place. That dude learned a hard lesson unfortunally.

People drive much crazier than they used to, EVERYONE I know who has been riding for a while has been down. I got lucky and dont really want to tempt fate any further. I want to be able to see my son grow up so getting killed by some dumb bitch who is busy texting while she runs my *** over doesnt sound like a good idea.

I know in Ohio you have to wear a helmet untill you get your license. I'm really not fond of scrambling my brain. I'm in MD and you have to wear one. Traffic and roads suck here so it's for the best. I think I've got my bike up to 70. Not that it's fast bike.
