What made me a defensive driver, aside from one experience in a car, was the complete recognition that no matter who had the Right of Way, if I got in a wreck on a motorcycle it was going to hurt. I won't say I never did some crazy stuff, and I have laid them down going forwards and backwards, but walked away every time.

There is a point where speed and situation can overwhelm skill and care, and there have been times and situations where I simply refused to ride. As the Eastwood quote goes, "A man's got to know his limitations."

Like with pilots, there are old riders, there are bold riders, but there are very few old bold riders.
