I high-sided at about 25-30 mph and slid my V-Strom 1000 on it's side through a mud hole while doing some DS riding in Hill Country. Other than some scratched paint and a broken windshield, there was no real damage to the bike. I had my K40, a spare mag and my wallet in my fanny pack at the time. Besides getting a bit muddy and a few good bruises, I was none the worse for wear. However, I did come down pretty hard on my right hip and would have hated to have the gun there when I hit. The hips are primary impact points during motorcycle accidents, that's why so many riding pants have extra padding there. Putting a hunk of steel there just doesn't sit well with me.
