I've had my bike for a couple of months now and had no serious incidents YET. I've had quite a few "oh crap" moments though.
I used too much back break once and skidded on wet pavement trying to slow to make a turn I was about to pass. Luckily i let off and straightened the bars and recovered. I've also slid on wet paint once, and gravel another time, but luckily pulled out both of those times too. I always encounter oblivious drives that cut me off. I've been driven off the road now, pushed onto the shoulder, and had to accelerate and decelerate to avoid crappy drivers moving into my lane or pulling out in front.
I like to think i'm a good rider. But i've had a number close calls now within just a few months and its kinda freaking me out.
But i love it.
