The likelylhood of you at least dropping your bike on the ground is almost 100% ...probably most likely during the first three months or so of ownership.
They do tell you at these classes about the old cliche. "there are two types of riders...those who have been down and those who will" Best to have it happen at five miles an hour or less or simply have a brain fart and drop it when parking.
Its easy to say no way not me ...but the day will come sooner or later. These courses do a good job of teaching us all how to minimize things.
Sometimes I think its best just to find a small patch of gravel and hit it at three or four miles an hour and slide it down just to get it over with. Enough to not do much damage and really surviveable.
Just reading the stories of riders on this forum who have had accidents is enough to view the reality of it vicariously.
