Sound advice from someone who obviously rides. Never be goaded into something you're not ready for. 99.9% of all accidents are rider input and I'd say that the vast majority of those are people who are riding over their head.
It's very easy to get pushed into riding over your head because you're buddies are with you and you're "just trying to keep up".
A true riding buddy will ride at his own pace and if you're smart, so will you.
You'll also find that more than 50% of the people you meet that ride have no business being on a bike. Popping wheelies, endos may look cool but half of those guys got chicken strips (the "unused" portion of the edge of the tires on either side) on their tires wider than the width of the tire they ride on.
Half of them are posers.
