I low sided on one tough corner in Deal's Gap on "The Dragon" several trips ago. My suspension bottomed out, so I did too. :-) No harm done. Picked her back up and kept going, but it took me another couple of visits to the mountains to get back to the comfort level I had attained predrop. I dropped the 650 once in a parking lot trying to do a stiff U-turn. That's when I learned the hard lesson, "Hey goofball, the bike turns by LEANING, even at 6mph!" Sigh. The lessons we have to learn...the hard way.
