You can dig a hole in a ground with a spoor or a shovel but only one is a proper tool for the job.

Sure you can’t control that fact, but you can sure as hell make your odds better. For every guy that gets away with it on an R1 there are 5 that didn’t, you really think the odds are the same for the 250 crowd?

What does the amount of accidents I’ve had have to do with anything?
