While the ingrained knowledge and know-how of a long-term motorcyclist can help him or her to avoid being involved in a motorbike accident, there is a corollary to that truth - and that is that inexperience can make a rider more likely to be involved in a crash.
A 2008 example of this being true sadly occurred in Puriton, in Devon, when an inquest into a crash that caused fatal personal injury was conducted. The coroner drew attention to the fact that this rider "did not have the skill or experience to handle such a powerful bike on such a sharp corner and he did not appreciate the severity of the bend."
The statistics would seem to support the idea that inexperience is an important factor in motorcycle crashes, particularly those involving awkward bends, where it is three times more likely that a person suffering personal injury can be described as 'inexperienced' than 'experienced'.
But it must be remembered that not all inexperienced riders are teenagers; the popularity of motorbikes with a group sometimes referred to as 'born-again' riders, those who take up riding in middle age with greater disposable income (and therefore, quite possibly, more powerful bikes), means that this is a group who may be inexperienced without the excuse of youth.
It is, of course, possible to be aware of one's own inexperience, and if this leads to safer riding, protective wear, and attention to hazards, it might be argued that known inexperience may lead to elements of greater safety until necessary experience is gathered.
