Yeah, what the fuck ever, I crashed because of stupid physics :mad

I'd venture to say that the majority of accidents could be prevented by tightening the loose nut behind the handlebars before one goes out on a ride.

If you wanted empirical evidence to justify crash results you should have asked for empirical evidence to justify crash results. Your original question has been answered in kind.
Vne said:Like aviation, over 95% of the time it's pilot error.
}Dragon{ said:Yeah, I'm gonna derail the thread- sorry Tim.
VNE you hit the nail on the head.
99% of all equipment issues on a bike can be handled by a GOOD pre-ride check... just like any pilot checks out their aircraft.
My father who is a pilot always said after a crash "Some folks shouldda just bought a boat." My version : Some people should have bought a jet-ski :teeth
The more hazards you can eliminate before a ride- the better. I am far from being a mechanic but I sure as hell know when something isn't working right and call a professional if I can't resolve it. The other thing is to know enough when to call it a day. Tires worn out? Go get them changed instead of going out for a ride.
