How many times ya crashed?

Only counting street (no idea/count about my dirt spills):

About 20 something years ago, I had a "side-on" collison with a car on a Mountain Pass in Switzerland (nice hospitals in Switzerland).

I lowsided on a road that turned into gravel just before the turn.

I slid on oil in Thailand (small bike - but I was wearing shorts)

About 5 years ago, I got run off the road in the woods in Oregon (my choice: hit the car head on or go for the woods...)

Thats a hard question. Does something like I was pulling up to the front of a store and there is a girl in a mini skirt, (summer of 72') on a ladder reaching over her head in the door of a store. I didn't stop, jumped the sidewalk and crashed into the ice machine in front of the store. I landed on the sidewalk in front of the door with her looking down at me like I just stepped out of a space ship. Thank God for dark shields so she couldn't see who it was.. I jumped up, picked up the bike and rode away.

I'm really not sure how many times I've crashed on the street and road racing, but I would guess about 20-25 times. I've never really tried to count them. I can only remember about 7 or 8 that really hurt, well maybe 10.
