I rode dirt bikes from 5 starting with the Z50 then when I was older switched to dual purpose bikes. There were a couple times I am sure I would have gone down hard had I been on a street bike. Rim savers are life savers!

I did go down in the grease one time and that resulted in a slight inconvenience. I was unable to walk for a week and then a few years later my knee got really messed up from not taking care of it right away and it gave out completely. It took several months of therapy to get it back to normal(ish). What happened was the bike was sliding and my boot caught a tree root and decided my knee should hinge outward.

All other major injuries were ball sport related.

I am like Quigley at the end of the movie, but with street bikes. Didn't say I can't ride 'em just got no use for 'em.
