I think it only counts if you're still on the bike

Love your sense of humor, bro!! Hahaha! I've been down a couple of times in the last 6 or so years, mostly slow speed stuff when I'm pulling off the road to take a pic and hit gravel. Only one was a nasty decreasing radius corner and that was in the first few months of being back on a bike after a hiatus of 15 plus years......and is why I still continue to suit completely up each and everytime I go out "there". Track time has increased my confidence and capability by leaps and bounds (started in C class, now can ride up in the A class).
But still, to show a photo of a "knee down" is freakin' hilarious!!!

Thjanks haha, First thing I said when I got back to the paddocks was 'since I'm okay, the photographer better have gotten a great picture!' lol. I went down 2 times this weekend, oh well. This time was mechanical failure. Other than that been down in a parking lot, and once in just a tip over. I don't completely, but haven't been out since the crash anyway. Track time really has helped me improve. After 4 days I ride in the intermediate (2) class, can't wait to be in level 3 (advanced).

Yeah, I don't like to go through life with a negative outlook. If I'm okay, may as well look at the best about it!
