Known enough motorcyclists who've half killed themselves (or are deceased) without the intervention of any other vehicle ... its not a pretty picture.
On urban roads if you can't stop or avoid before you see someone pulling out from a side-road you're going too fast ?

Well first off, when you're on a motorcycle there's always room to escape into, and all it takes is being aware of your surroundings. It's pretty hard to doze off on one, or talk on your cell phone, or get road head, or any of the many number of distractions other drivers have. Getting to and from where you wanna be and knowing how to do it before you're there, and some other techniques help.
Always driving BEHIND or IN FRONT of other cars, never in their potential blind spot, and making sure your pipes are load enough to let everyone know you're there...
But I wouldn't freak out. The way I've been living the past month since i went fulltime has been careless and reckless in many ways. While I've accepted and met more responsibility than I have for a while and done it WELL, so far I've been clubbing and going to bars and dating guys who have no clue about me even just for one night. I've gotten date raped once, not to mention about a month an a half ago when it happened. I've got more stalkers than I can count on one hand, probably because I went and put my pictures and profile up on a few TS dating sites.
But I can't stop. I'm loving life so much right now and I'm not letting ANYTHING get me down or stop me.
I've told several friends this already but, I doubt I've got much longer to live because I just can't stop doing what I'm doing. I'd rather live well a few more months than go back to not living at all like I was.
So if something WERE to happen, I'd go out knowing that I didn't have a single regret.
