Possibly the most incorrect assertion ever posted on this board
Well, if we quantify it enough we can all reach the conclusion WE want. My only objection was "MANY" and "NEVER".I make no exceptions or exclusions.I don't care who is to blame.I'm just going with the odds (and my personal observations). They don't stand up by themselves (off the kickstands, and even then sometimes the stands fail). So eventually they fall down.I bet that happens in some way to all eventually.Of course there's always the exception that proves the rule.
When did I say everyone must fall , or that I am immune . You are the one who is claiming superior skills and just can't possibly fall down I was merely using examples of very talented riders that have fallen , if you are a better rider than these boys , well , great . Look , the issue at hand isn't whether or not it can happen , but how to deal with the after effects and how to minimize the chances of it occurring again , not what fabulous MC riders you or I are, and some time in the dirt is very beneficial , whether you agree or not .

Norge Pilot,When people suggest her trying some dirtbike, we are talking about riding around on in a field, getting used to turning the bike, starting and stopping, putting it on and off the sidestand... no one is suggesting she needs to ride across Baja on a Stelvio to learn road skills
Sigh All of those skills are best developed in the dirt , once again , there is a reason why almost every fast pavement racer trains in the dirt . Dusty
What good is an uparmored bike if the rider gets hurt?
Let's have some fun with this ..Valentino Rossi started on go karts...Since he's one of the best we can assume go karts are better than dirt bikes?
I think Fast Freddie is one of the few American Superbike/GP racers that did not have a dirty background.
Yeah. Rossi doesn't do dirt... Great shot of Rossi .
Motorcycles don't fall over by themselves, you fall over and take the bike with you or forget to do something. Don't blame the bike, it doesn't do anything by itself.
Is Spenson the famous mime ? Dusty
The adage of those there are those who have and those who will came from those that have and follow the other adage:Misery loves company.The oft heard comment from someone who has fallen through no one else's fault...don't worry, your turn will come. Why do they say that? No reason other than the denial that just maybe they goofed up and can't bring themselves to admit they need to learn something better.When in doubt, blame the sidestand, the tires, the big breasted girl who made you look, anything but your own skills.
And me four weeks ago, moments after taking ownership of my brand new V7, ready to hit the road. (I rode it 150 miles solo that day.):That's my two cents. I really hope it helps. Kim
