Wisdom...
you should have listened to your mom more
ow about riding ..sorry , I digress
Mate ...riding means you will eventually have a fall....and not necessarily a bad one ok...but you will eventually fall...
If you just take it like a ***** for quite a while and only give her some gas when everything is good (no traffic around , open roads ,good weather ect ect ) you will be fine...
90% of crashes are caused because of peeps going too fast in the wrong places or in the wrong conditions ...
No one will hang **** on you for taking it easy when everything is not quite perfect for you to feel ok about going a bit harder... ride within your comfortable limits ok...
and IF anyone hangs **** on you ... tell them to FU%CK UP and then bloody thump the bastards or snott them in the nose mate !!
not that I advocate violence ...

I have met people that have never had a stack, but the odds are not in your favour. However the 1st ones are usually the slow type or over balancing on the stop. As all have said, do a riders course. It will greatly improve your %, you will meet some nice people & maybe some riding buddies & give you some skills that could take years to discover. And by the way, good on ya.

RE: first timer jidders
be confident when riding. if you feel un sure or panicky pull over, take a breather and get back on. most accidents can be avoided (except for those damn deers [:@]), learn to scan ahead and when riding next to traffic learn to "read" the other drivers. these are all things that they will teach you in a msf course.
have fun ! if you are too uptight and think wayy to much into it you will start to panic and that is never good. its just like sex, you shouldnt have to look at what your doing you. listen to the bike the way she is acting and you will know everything you need to (when to shift, how much pressure to apply on the handle bars during a turn..etc)
