Fact of the matter is, you can't wrap yourself up in cotton wool. Telling someone how to ride isn't the answer. Telling someone whose come off to go on a track day, or do this, or do that to combat this that and the other won't work either. You can't make decisions for the other drivers that are going to crash into you either. You have to judge yourself and go off and do something about it yourself...but one thing you can never do is say..
It'll never happen to me.
We can all offer advise that we think might help, end of the day its Ralph that has to advise himself. Ralph the more you analyse what went wrong the more you go round in circles, then you over compensate when you next go out, and before you know it you are questioning your riding ability as you get paranoid.
