She has been around long enough to know.
I am pretty sure she was just responding to me anyway.
You crashed because you put yourself and the bike in the position to crash. Simply stated from your own posts, one or more of a few main factors where at play here;
Night....
Empty lane next to slow/stopped traffic (invites getting pulled out in front of)
Following to close?
Tried to accelerate past a car at a bad time?
Handful of front brake?
Locked rear brake?
Speed? (80-100ft is a loooonnnng way for a bike to slide)
The car came out of nowhere?
The car tried to merge in your lane as you were beside it?
Construction and possible debris on the pavement?
That is a lot of possible negatives happening at the same time. Possibly you were a bit complacent at the time?
While you may be able to handle the corners just fine, at the ripe old age of 21... learning to read, predict and react to traffic can be a bit more of a challenge.
Sometimes patience is a virtue and cagers do some of the dumbest things.
Again, we wish you a speedy recovery to you and the very best of luck when you throw a leg over. It's a good sign your taking the time to reflect on what and why it happened.
