When I was 21 I had a 600 Ninja that top'd out at about 115mph. One night after drinking a lot I passed out while in 6th gear/full throttle. When I woke up I was surrounded by people saying, "is he okay?"

My polo shirt and light jacket evaporated, my top siders had disappeared, but my Levi 501 saved my legs and my helmet had serious scrapes and grinds on all sides (I must have rolled for quite a while). I got back on the bike and road to the hospital.

I've taken that to be my one freebie and I have learned my lesson. To jump back to your topic, I had several slight encounters with cars while riding. The stupidest one was when I was stopped at a light and the car behind kept inching forward until it hit me. It didn't knock me off the lady driving was speaking with her passenger and didn't even see me?!
