General SportbikesThis area is made for sportbikes in general. Posts that dont really belong anywhere else besides here. Questions can be answered and addressed to fully understand certain aspects. If your question is Manufacturer specific please post it there.
Some of you are pompous as hell. Sometimes you cant avoid an accident. If a car runs a red and you plow into it, it is NOT YOUR FAULT.
You cant be scanning eveyr lane of traffic at every second to see if someone is gonna run the light. There are some parts of riding that are just fate. Even some deer accidents are 99.9% bound to ruin your day, which in my opinion is just not gonna be avoided.
Some of you live in this retarded computer world, where everything you say looks so good as a post, but has no relevance in the real world of motorcycling.
Dale don't confuse fault with avoidance....sure the guy running a red is at fault, but you just can't stare straight ahead and expect to live....survival is my motivation. Avoid the guy by being prepared.

You're confusing "fault" with "ability to avoid." They are not the same. Nobody said that particular scenario would be your fault.
There are many things you can do to avoid plowing into that car, or at least reduce the damage incurred. You can look both directions before you enter the intersection. You can actively slow down. You can cover your brake and clutch. You can practice emergency accident avoidance in an empty parking lot.
Just because something isn't your fault doesn't automatically mean there's nothing you could have done.

Correct. That was already mentioned.
But this thread is specifically about "crashing for no reason," specifically meaning single vehicle accidents. Did you bother to read the original post?

Again, this thread isn't about hitting or being hit by moving objects.

At least we bother to read the original post. Did you write it, or did someone else use your account?

That's true, sometimes you can't avoid an accident. Dale, originally you said that your accident was completely unavoidable. Now you've said it's possible you could've avoided it. That's from experience. Imagine how you'll be with a few more years experience.

Either way, I dont think the Post accident me would have the same accident again.....so I take some blame
