Oh, yeah, on my first bike. Very sharp corner, lots of loose gravel, going way too fast. I actually didn't lose it in the gravel, thank God. But I slid into the grassy swale along the road, and it was still slick with morning dew. I ended up sliding into a mailbox just around the corner. No structural damage to the bike, but I needed a new front fender and the fairing was destroyed. Nothing like riding back into town with a fairing dangling off the front of your bike to show the world that you just dropped your ride.
