Thats a good point.  I had a friend that bought a new motorcycle.  After a few weeks I asked him how he liked it and how come I haven't seen him riding it around.  He told me the salesman told him that 90% of all MC accidents happen in the first 6 weeks of ownership so he was leaving it parked in his garage for 6 weeks.

A few weeks later I saw him with a broken leg.  Turns out he was doing some practice dry runs in his garage (you know, twisting the throttle and making MC noises) when the machine fell over on his leg.

Just goes to show--you never know!
