You ran into Nicholas Cage?
To the OP; something that may help you feel more confident is to understand that there are many things you can do to reduce your risk, it's not some mindless activity totally out of your control. Motorcycling is like any other activity, the more you do it the better you get. Some people, through good judgement, training, ongoing study, hard work, and practice, raise their level of motorcycling proficiency to a much higher level than those who choose not to do any of those things. One of these groups contributes much more to the numbers that make up the accident statistics. I doubt I have to tell you which one.
My advice; take it one step at a time, you don't have to decide right now to be a rider for life and live with some statistical albatross hanging around your neck. Just start... commit to being the best rider you can be... you can always stop if you think it's not for you.
Remind your friends and family that if you had chosen to make fine furniture they would not be warning you about every craftsman that cut off his fingers. http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/...lesaw-injuries
