So better = faster?
This seems to be a fairly common thought for some around here. More so on some sub forms than others. (like road)
I think the person who can avoid crashes in a variety of situations is a "better" rider. Night, rain, busy traffic, etc. Almost 10 years and 30,XXX miles since my last crash or fall. And while not slow, as stated earlier I'm likely not quite as fast as I was. But I'm MUCH better at properly mixing with traffic than I ever was in the past.
