iits all up to the rider. ya someone could pull in front of you, so dont tailgate. dont ride like an asshole in traffic. be aware of everything around you. keep your foot on the break and your hand on the clutch. be ready to react. do those things and youll never crash. ive put 30,000 on over 3 bikes, and i got 15 on my 2008 r1. never even had a close call. and this is on new york city streets and highways.
