You're forgetting the biggest cause: overconfidence. 
You hit the nail on the head with that one. i can't wait for the summer run i took a stab at it friday and it was great till i ran up on a girl on a chopper doing 15-20!!!??? 
Perhaps the 'chick on the chopper' was simply being smart and riding within her limits? A prudent decision given the propensity of the Dragon to punish the over confident.
True. I've seen some big ole' choppers running at their absolute limits at walking speed. Those big bikes with the 6' rake and ape-hanger bars ain't built to handle the corners.
