What scares you more, fall or a near miss?
#17
I hit a left turner in 1969 on my 305 Scrambler. Happened so fast I didn't have time to be scared. Totaled my bike, broke my nose, right hand, right foot and 7 teeth. Afterwards I was scared to get back on a bike and told my mom I was thinking about not riding anymore. She reminded me how much I loved riding and how much I would miss if I didn't ride again. As soon as I was healed up I used the insurance check from the wreck to buy a new CB 350.

I have had several close calls over the years that have scared me, but as soon as one happens you have to put it out of your mind, or you will be afraid to ride.
