I haven't crashed yet, but some of you know I ride like an old man. It's through caution and luck that I've stayed up so far.

:rockwoot:

I think it's a combination of everything. I try not to think/dwell about it. I know the possibility is there, just can't worry about it.

It means it hasn't happened yet.

It surprises me to see so many riders taking the "two kinds of riders" line to heart... i only expect to hear that from old women.

Well, I certainly believe that the opposite is true- that a lot of people who have crashed have a tendency to ride too aggressively. I don't really care about "challenging my skill"... I just ride for fun. And I find the idea that if you're not crashing, you're not riding fast enough ON THE STREET... well, appalling, i think is the word.

So, I guess you would put me in category #2 :idk: I can live with that. My bike's sitting outside waiting to take me home from work, and she says she can live with that too :lol

And FWIW, i don't consider a drop to be a "crash". A crash occurs when you are piloting a vehicle that is in motion and under power. If I am pushing a bike into a trailer and it falls because I lose my grip, it's not a crash. If I'm lifting a car with a hydraulic jack in the wrong spot and it falls off the jack, it's not a crash. Those are fuckups.

hahahahaha
