I rode a motorcycle on public roads until I was 29. I fell off once when I broke a rear chain and once on a very slippery road,  however I never had any other accident.  I had so many near-misses that I gave up and went road-racing.  At least if you crash when road-racing, you have usually done it to yourself.

My friend is the same age as myself,  When he was 60, he stuffed an RD350 into a car which turned in front of him.  He ended up in hospital with a steel shaft drive down the inside of the bone on his lower leg.  He had road raced for years and rode regularly on public roads - and still got caught.

With motorcycles on public roads, it does not matter how good you are, they will still get you.
