It's simple. I've been riding on the street for 53 years. I'm a very good contientious motorcyclist. I'm not afraid of riding a motorcycle. What happened to me was a freak accident. I WILL be more careful in choices of where/how to turn around in the future.
I get a million times more pleasure out of riding than the pleasure I would recieve from the percieved safety of not riding. Not riding would give me no pleasure.
As soon as I am able I will be back on two wheels, every day in all conditions, all year. I can't imagine NOT riding. It's not in my make up not to ride.
I have been hurt worse than this climbing trees.
Don't get me wrong, I know something bad can happen anytime I climb on two wheels, or....anytime I climb in the car to go to the store, or go down a flight of steps carrying the laundry, or climb a ladder to clean the gutters, or run across a street. Watch the news, bad things happen to people through no fault of their own. People fall, drown, get electrocuted, get shot or cut by unscupulous individuals and some just fall over from heart attacks. Emergency rooms are filled everyday with people who for the most part were not riding motorcycles. Can't let fear paralyze you from enjoying life.
