Read an interesting article in the British magazine "Bike" (I think) a few months ago about a guy who has ridden for 43 years and has NEVER had an off. It turns out this guy was no Nana rider either. The interviewer was a bike tester and was struggling to keep up with him through the twisties in the wet. He was exceptionally aware of what was going on around him and he had obviously had honed his anticipatory skills to a fine art. A bit of good luck probably went his way as well.
Might be able to dig the article up if you are interested.
Place the responsibility for your survival where it belongs.......with yourself.
There is also an interesting section in the October '06 edition of "Bike" magazine on the science and psychology of danger. Definitely worth a read. If you have or can find a copy read carefully the sidebar titled "Are Car Drivers The Problem?". Interesting statistics. Might blow a myth or two.
