"There are only two kinds of biker, those who have parted ways with their
bike at speed, and those who eventually will if they keep riding."
I love that when I got my bike it seemed like everybody needed to tell me
this. As if all of a sudden I was going to say "Holy crap, you mean I
could fall off and get hurt? Damn, get this bike away from me."
For petes sake I ride BECAUSE of the ever present threat of disaster. The
feeling of exposure and frankly because it scares the crap out of me and I
like getting off the bike knowing I've conquered my fear and transported
myself safely. The only reason I see for ever falling off my bike is gross
unpredictable mechanical failure (undetectable hardening of a metal part
that suddenly fails or a nail in a tire or some such) or getting hit by
somebody else or caught in a case where I can't help hitting somebody, OR
if I finally get around to buying a real sportbike and put in track time
where I'm severely pushing the envelope. In either case since I'm always
armored while riding, attempting to expect the unexpected which is another
thing I like about riding.
