I believe in the 2 types of riders thing.
Reason being: NOT that we are all doomed from the second we put up the kickstand. BUT that being realistic about what could happen on a bike makes it a whole lot easier to deal with when it DOES happen..
Maybe you go for 40 years without a sigle incident, but I would never want to be in a place where I think I can't crash because of skill/experience/whatever.
The first thing that crossed my mind when I got hit, 'well, shit happens' No panic, just you knew this could happen when you put up the kickstand.
