I think that qualifies as considerable experience. I have no idea how many miles I rode over the years but I was never in a situation where the bike was my sole transportation for any length of time.
I sold the CBX last year and am now retired from riding (or at least owning) a motorcycle. I guess I'm like the rare boxer who can retire undefeated.
Here's one more bit of heresy. Whenever I was allowed to do so, I went without my helmet. Can't stand 'em.
