Why we crash

I like that the title is not: Why motorcyclists have accidents.

Its a matter of attitude. There are very few, real, "accidents". A very high percentage are crashes. And a good percentage of crashes are avoidable. An example of an accident happened to a friend of mine and his wife on a tour in the Smokies. As they rode under an area of large trees, a huge branch broke off and landed on them and their bike. It was perfectly clear day, still air, just the wrong place at the wrong time. Totaled his Harley. Seriously injured his wife, states away from home.

Some will say, BS, not all crashes can be avoided. True, not ALL crashes. But a very high percentage of crashes CAN be avoided. Some will say, "there was nothing I could do." True, in the context of crashing, there is little you can do during the crash. Its all what you do, don't do, BEFORE the crash that really matters.
