You know, I agree with your thoughts that we all need to be reminded of how dangerous our hobby is. Maybe not with a crash, but a conscience reminder to just be careful and not take our bike and skills for granted. Most of us have been riding a long time, and complacently might creep in as we forget exactly how dangerous it is. I dropped my bike twice in 50 years of riding where this happened, both in my yard. One, the first month I was riding, trying to go up the two inch rise on my driveway at a 45 degree angle, the second last year year, going through a muddy patch in my yard at about 3mph , forgetting big bikes do not behave like dirt bikes, and cracked a rib on the mirror. I did not even mention it here in the Forum. So we do stuff that if thought out better, we would not do. I just thank God on the road I think a little better than I do in my own yard. I pray you get better fast and go back to the joys of riding and put the accident out of your mind so it does not keep you from just having fun.
