JMO and no flame intended but...if you're 21 and have 7 years of riding under your belt and you get into a close call almost every day that you ride, something is very wrong.

I'm sure it's a bit exaggerated but it's a good point to keep in mind.

Nothings wrong. Here in palm beach county, like many other places, we have a lot of old/stupid ***** who like to stop in the middle of the road, cross all four lanes at once without looking, don't know what turn signals are,etc. So no matter how attentive you ride, you'll always have close calls. People who ride can really understand what close calls im talking about.

I've been riding on the street for around 27 years so, yeah, I understand about close calls. That said, I stand by my original comment. JMO
