I have found it quite interesting in the 3 years riding a bike how often motorists ignore that fact you have fallen over on a motorcycle and just carry on. I have fallen off maybe 6 times at low speed due to loss of traction and only once had anyone stop to check if I was OK, is this normal?
I remember one incident where my rear wheel hit a patch of gravel and I spun up in the middle of Amberly, a car that was passing through actually tooted at me to get out of the way whilst I was lying on the road...
And yes I know falling off 6 times is rather excessive, usually it was related to weather conditions and lack of experience as I ride in everything, ice, snow, rain, hail. I think I have learnt my lesson now as the last time I fell off was in April, since then have run much better tyres.
