This is just asking for trouble! But...none yet, well not "proper" ones. I fell over once at a stop (sloped ground) that didn't do anything except snap off the end of the gear lever.

Also I fell off once on the other side, at maybe 1mph, it was last year around October and I came round a corner and had to brake sharply for the van that was stopped in front of me (was checking over the shoulder to pull out and had it in my mind it was clear) and the front end lost it as I came to a stop (not sure if I was too grabby or anything). That didn't do anything - laid down again rather than dropped - so no damage. And that is it so far...done almost 10,000 miles since I passed in April '06 so not too bad going I think.

I've had one off at low speed not wearing my proper gear. I've also had one off at high speed wearing my gear. Both were definately my fault.

That's in the last 31,000 miles. So I suppose I'm not doing badly, and haven't had an off in around 8months.

Not many have come out of the woodwork with a "I haven't come off..." post.

One off and a few drops in about 11,000 miles. About par for the course I reckon!

shhhhhh....I haven't yet, things have tried getting me off but so far they have failed. Want to keep it that way. In four years I've only dropped one twice. One the 125 and one was suzy and she's scared down the left side from it. But so far so good..........ah poo i jinxed me now
