Some stuff from MCrider - Riding instructor from Texas

1. Motorcycle choice
2. Riding above your skill level - pointed at riders from 6 to 18 month of experience.
3. Riding on the street like it is the track.
4. Returning riders
5. Drinking and Riding <-- 30-50% of deaths have factors that include alcohol.

1. Assuming you have the right away -- (Also see SMIDSY above).
2. Following distance (not enough).
3. Rushing the corner (not leaving enough room for error).

5 Bad Habits
1. Not looking far enough down the road.
2. Improper foot placement on the pegs.
3. Believing you are better than you are.
4. Not looking far enough through a curve.
5. Riding at the limits of your skills, motorcycle or the road.

Fear.. too much or too little both are issues.

Riding in traffic.

Thanks for posting all of these. I am back to riding after a year hiatus due to both of my parents dying and feeling generally depressed and not with it enough to ride. I'm back! Downgraded the bike, too!
