Beats a hi-vis anytime Imho though you'll need that in the dark too as much as it may clash with some peoples fashion sense

you gotta admire the logic of the chinese tho - women get stressed, men don't... i know!!! balls!

Only two types of biker, those who have been down and those that are going down.

Anybody know of anybody with 50-100 thousand miles or more experience who has never fallen off?

The trick is not falling off too often (it's expensive too!), and not putting yourself in the kind of position where to fall off would cause death or serious injury. There's loads posted here on how to do that.

If every off you have results in cuts and bruises and maybe the odd broken bone or damaged joint, you're doing OK (so long as your wallet can stand up to the broken plastics and bent forks!).

It's no worse than any other dangerous occupation or pastime. 54 people died when out walking last year on the mountains of Scotland, and I know a guy who does parachute jumps and thinks my motorbike is too dangerous

Theraputic juggle first thing in the morning sets you up for the day
