strike a nerve did i?? well i didnt mean to. dont you think you'll kind of silly cruising around on the "jap" bike when youre 65 with gramma on back with her wrinkled ass showing hahaha
i used to ride a "foreign" bike remember? and still do drive 2 foreign (german) cars.
without checking actual reports, i can only remember 1 harley accident (broken leg) and probably a dozen involving foreign bikes just this past summer that i responded to. several were bike against bike with 1/2 fatalities. mostly the biker's fault speeding, drinking, the usual.
i wave to anyone who waves at me. bike car or walking. i dont even know what a s1000rr is.
relax, breathe, think good thoughts. all is good
