Totally agree and generally I say much the same to anyone wanting to learn/just starting out on two wheels. They are definitely out to get you - even if they look you in the face they often don't actually see you!
We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”
