about a month ago, I had just fixed the brake light switch on the front brakes, and decided to test it out while riding around in the circle I had worn dow in the yard. when it doesn't rain for two months, the dirt tends to turn to dust. Hit the brake in the dust, went sliding, almost dropped it if not for a tree to grab on to, but slapped my leg right across the headers when trying to get myself back up, #1 just barely grazed my knee, and that burn was gone in a week, #2 wasn't firing so it was cold, but #3 got me hard, and that will probably leave a scar. If #2 had been firing, I probably wouldn't have been able to walk at all, as it would have got me on the side of my legs, where it bends at the knee. All this comes years after learning my lesson about the front brake with a bicycle on a steep hill. I had also developed a habit of putting everything in the under seat compartment while I was tinkering with something, one day, I put my keys in there, and no more than a few minutes later, accidentally knocked the seat and it closed and locked, with my only key underneath it. Fortunately that day I had the tank off and was able to reach in and pull it out.
