Glad you're OK!

I'll give you $25 for your bike.
I started riding dirt bikes when I turned 12, and street bikes when I turned 18. ..I am now 36. I will agree that the more experience you gain, the more prepared you are when something happens. However, it is widely understood that it's not if you crash, it's when. I've had three crashes so far on the street, two were all by myself and one involving a car, all of which I got through without injury and not a whole lot of damage to the bike. I have also had a lot of incidents where I came close to crashing, but experience and being aware of what is going on got me through.

CC Cowboy, I sincerely hope your theory holds true for you. Yes, crashing shouldn't happen, but it does.
