Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but you guys need to learn how to reword your tellings of them. When I tell ppl that I hurt my leg "laying down an Italian Sport Bike" it conjures up images of me scraping a Ducati down the freeway. Noone has to know that I really wrecked my grandfather's 30 yr old Vespa P200E just 3 feet from the garage ;)
