A question,,,,
Who thinks it's inevitable that you will go down? As in, it WILL happen sooner or later?

I think the truth is that everyone makes a mistake at some point.
The variable is the "luck" associated when said error happens. IMO, the more prepared and learned you are, the better the "luck"
As for me. I dropped my first "big" bike the day I got on it. So I consider myself in the clear. LOL - KNOCK ON WOOD

Do you think it's inevitable that you will be involved in an accident in your car or truck?
I don't.....
Why should it be any more 'inevitable' just because you are riding a bike.....
You can be defensive and careful to up the odd's in your favor, but other things might be out of your control..
What happens happens, for good or bad, when you are involved in any activity.

Unfortunately, as the use of cellphones, texting, and other driver distractions continue to increase every year, our chance of survival decreases.
While our legislators seem hellbent with protecting us from ourselves with seatbelts and helmets, they continue to do nothing to protect us from the morons that find their cellphone more important than someone else's life.

Dropping doesn't just imply accidents. It can also refer to the dreaded front brake caused drop in the parking lot or the "forgot" to put your feet down at a stop.
Basically, every motorcyclist is going to lay a bike down at some point, statistically speaking. That doesn't mean it is going to be an accident involving another vehicle.

But then again, maybe I just haven't been around that many riders that drop their bike on purpose.
An accident doesn't have to involve another vehicle.
