I rode for years without a crash then bam 3 totaled bikes in 5 years and a couple drops in the same time and nothing for the last 3+ years.
Oh sure I've crashed but not until I got a sport bike, if I had kept riding cruisers or had quit riding all together, like many do in their 30s, I could have never crashed. Shit, up until two years ago, I had never had a single vehicle crash and I was doped up for that one! That was after 25 years of riding and about 12 years of sport bike riding. I just don't believe that the guy riding a Rebel 250 is GUARANTEED to crash eventually. Yes I know it is POSSIBLE to crash one, btw. I came from a Harley family and I know for a fact that I have uncles that have ridden since WWII and Korea without crashing. My uncle McKinley just got rid of his pan head a few years ago and it has never been crashed to my knowledge.
