This hits close to home for me....the only time I've ever been down was when I hit some sand in the middle of an intersection in a city at slow speed.
The remarkable thing I remember was the quickness I went down...there was no time to correct or even think about saving it....I was just down in a blink of an eye.
For the longest time, I would only accelerate hard once I had the bike straightened back up from a lean...still probably not a bad idea...not sure if would make any difference, but I always thought if I hit something loose while in a straight line, I would have a better chance of saving it than while leaning.
