I've wrecked my cars more often than my bikes.

been riding since 65,,, in all I've had 3 LITTLE minor things,,
(1) - I dropped my 2nd bike when the front wheel slid out because of sand on cement and I used the front brake turning into my driveway at about 3 mph... no damage or injury

(2).. had girl turn left into me as I was passing her at about 10 mph, I just pushed off her car with my foot and went into her front yard.. no damage or injury.

(3) car in front of me braked hard and I slid off the road and was almost stopped before I hit a pole.. that only bent my clutch lever and no injury..

other than that, you have to be the best defensive rider you can be..
