There are two types of riders... those who have gone down and those that will.
I was wondering how many of us have done it. If we have, what did we do and what could we have done (if anything) to prevent it.
Here's my story...
What happened - Started accelerating while approaching an intersection. As I entered the intersection the car coming in the opposite direction started to make a left turn and ended up blocking my path. I panicked and slammed my brakes. This caused my rear wheel to come off the ground and I ended up landing my motorcycle by slamming it on its side
Looking back - Even though I had the right of way, I should have approached the intersection more carefully. When the driver crossed my path I didn't have much reaction time, but now that I'm more experienced I think I would be better able to come to a quick stop without applying excessive pressure on the brakes.
