RE: Matter of time
I don't subscribe to that crap & haven't hit the asphalt in 50+years riding 12-14,000 miles a year except for two years spent in Asia. I use to ride the dirt & managed to fracture my spine among just one of many off road injuries. I have no exceptional riding skills & admit that I am one lucky SOB.

This gets back to that thing I believe in called fate. Be careful yes.But am I going to worry about it ,....no.
If it was meant to happen,..it probably will. Thinkabout it like this,.....the reason you went down is because God wanted you to. If God had not written it into your fate to crash at that exact moment,....mabey you would have gone another 10 miles,..and then a tractor trailer would have run over you and killed you.
And if someone is killed in a crash think of it like this. his dying probably altered the course of some elses life permanently,...mabey it was the emt who responed,...or the cop,...or the guy who stopped to help,....mabey it was in thier fate to cause them to not do what they would normally be doing so that they themselves,..or someone else involved could go home that night and see thier daughter.

What a load of polyanna rationalzation! God wanted you to go down? I mean no offence if that's the way you think of God-thats your business, but thats not my God. There is no such thing as fate. No big book with our lives all mapped out. Superstitious garbage generated to make ourselves feel better when thedodo hits the fan.

RE: Matter of time
It's really impossible to say whether you'll have an accident or not.
A friend at work who has ridden bikes for 40 years told me the other day ha had his very first bike accident.
Some schmuck rear ended him at a light. He simply didn't get stopped soon enough. Banged the bike up some, my friend pulled every muscle from his neck down his back. He's OK.

RE: Matter of time
My pet peeve is people who say " I laid it down ". [:@]
To me, that means, " I lost control " or " I couldn't avoid an accident " , which can happen to the best of us.
Seriously, who would choose to slide down the road; rather than stop under control. [sm=smiley11.gif]
