    blaw, to get us on the same page—mine were single bike accidents (meaning no other vehicles were involved). also, i was riding pretty aggressively, one was on the track, the other up in the twisties.

    had i been cruising around town my chances wouldn't have been as great; i generally wear boots, gloves, a jacket and full face helmet on the street. i had one other accident where a van tried to make a right turn from the left lane into a gas station at the last second and dove across two lanes and didn't see me. i was doing about 30mph and only had on gloves, a jacket, and full face helmet. managed to walk away from that one unscathed as well.

    maybe i've just been lucky. totally agree with you regarding exposure vs safety.

    • point being i agree about minimizing risk, but every situation is unique and differentgabe
