I think I know what you mean but I respectfully disagree, at least in part. For sure other vehicles are the major concern but rider skill is essential. I've used torque and acceleration to get out of trouble far more often than the brakes. But a rider needs to know how to read trouble, make sure you have an exit set up and never go into a panic stop. So many times I've heard people say "I just had to lay her down" when in fact they were over riding the bike or their skill. That's why I ride with so few guys. They're the ones I know I can trust to watch my "6" or wait for me at turns , not try to touch a knee down on our rides or engage in squidly antics. Just my .02
