    I doubt one person on here believes that. You assume way too much.

    There you again.

    Or maybe what he said was that you should try and avoid every accident, to be aware of your surroundings, because while every accident is avoidable, sometimes it is more practical to avoid being able to avoid every accident. Btw, your reply has a massive hole in its logic, as not all avoidable accidents are avoided.

    All accidents are avoidable. Sometimes they are not avoidable in the given moment by the given rider on the bike. Eg. My second crash. If I had paid better attention to my maintenance or I had better skills to deal with a slide I might have saved it. If I had been going 10k slower or there was no diesel slick almost anyone could have avoided it.

    It was avoidable. Just not by me on that day in that corner, in the rain, with a diesel spill, and the sudden failure of my rear bearings.
