like anything else, if you do something enough, your number comes up for some type of accident or event. Some are funny, some are definately not. There is a saying among motorcycle riders, "if you have not dropped you bike yet, you will, if you have not laid your bike down, you will". Its true as well. I was lucky in that I only dropped 4 out of the 5 I have owned. I never had to lay one down, but DAMN close more times than I care to remember. I was fortunate, others are not so fortunate.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
