I think you should expect to die if you spend a lot of time on the road. Does it matter what bug the driver has that runs you down?

  Get over yourself. If you don't speed, don't drink and drive, and don't road rage, the odds of dying on the road are not that bad. Riding a motorcycle is 60x more dangerous than a car per mile. I have easily done over 100,000 miles on a sportsbike in California traffic. That's the equivalent of 6 Million miles in a car. I have had one close call in 10 years. Never even stubbed a toe on a motorcycle.

      Are you denying that skill exists in the world? But beyond that, not speeding, not drinking and driving/riding, and not raging on the road are not exactly 'skills'. But honestly, I am a pretty skilled rider. I just don't have to use most of it on the road... I said myself I only had one close call in 10 years. Only that moment really involved skill.
