I had been riding less than a year, bought a newer bike, and wrecked with in the week. Haven't been down since, over 10 years riding. I do about 1 track day per year for last 4 years. I get nervous on the street and feel really safe at the track.

I learned a great deal of respect for it after my wreck. You can go down yes, however it is typically operator error.

WEAR THE GEAR!!!! I have a helmet, leather coat, boots, and gloves everytime I ride, even when it is 95 and humid. If it is too hot for the gear, then I don't need to ride it.
