Okay, so you got the falling-off part over with. Be happy that it went so well.

Many of us who’ve been riding for a while have had an unscheduled get-off. When I did, it cost me an injured foot and about $1000 in spare parts which I paid myself as I didn’t want my insurance premiums to sky-rocket.

I don’t know if it’s true or not and I’m hesitant to perpetuate what I think is probably a myth, but they say that there are two kinds of motorcyclists. Those that have fallen off and those that will fall off.

Congratulations, you’ve now graduated from the group who will fall off, to the group who have fallen off.

That means you’re no longer in the the group who will fall off, so everything’s cool.

Well, at least that’s the way I look at it :-)

Hope you’ve done your MSF BRC. If not, you should (as should everyone who rides a motorcycle).

Congrats on the license.
