And its also bad luck to talk about it. For forty years, I rode a motorcycle. I've always been on two wheels. I've ridden my motorcycles all over North America, UK, Europe, and Northern Africa. Never had even a close call because my policy was to always ride like I was invisible, and NEVER tempt fate by talking about crashes. Bad juju. Then, in 2007 I had a crash which broke 13 bones, and gave me traumatic brain injury. I suppose it all caught up to me. I still do not talk about crashing or dying or w t f - ever. Its a waste of time and only incites anxiety and fear of the unknown. People need to nut up.
