Josh is down

So sorry that this happened. Life is about making risk / reward decisions in the context of those around us. There is no "right" answer. The thing is though, people (me at least) tend to choose people to include in their life who appreciate the sort of drive that makes one want to ride, or fly, or whatever. My wife loves to fly with me, wouldn't dream of riding on the back of my bike, but would hate the idea (at this stage of life in our early 50s) that I threw in the towel on the basis of an accident - in the air or on the road. Having said that, 10 years from now, she might feel completely different. In any case, whatever decision you make doesn't need to be permanent.

Not sure how much water is in your neck of the woods, but I find that boating and waverunners appeals to the same part of my brain that riding does.... Lots of fun tuning to be had on boat motors btw....
