you forget the things out of their control... people pulling out on them... a blow out... a animal running out... all of those can catch ANY OF US no matter how seasoned or experienced...

True but those types of accidents aren't "motorcycle specific" and you may as well say that all operators MOTOR VEHICLES will eventually crash... If you operate your motorcycle the same way that you drive your car I truly believe that you are less likely to crash your bike because of it's greater avoidance and braking capabilities.

I guess that's just me....
