I've used the exact same line.

My friends and I are all daily riders. If we kept track of all the times we've had close scrapes in the last decade we could write a series of books. Only been two major bang-ups with among the 5 of us though. One was getting the rear tire slicked up on my buddies old Honda Magna and then he tried to turn... oops. The other was another brother trying to pass a slow driver in a no passing zone...she made a sudden left without signaling... he played superman and still has the pins in his ankle. But as you can see THOSE incidents are BOTH bad judgment calls by the rider.
Just be aware of your surroundings and don't make stupid decisions. I agree that most accidents are the fault of and ignorant or inattentive car/truck driver, most of them could also be avoided if the motorcyclist made better judgment calls about where to be riding and how close to play with cars in traffic.
Just my two cents worth....
