There was a time in the dim past where I was more callous about risk taking on a motorcycle.
That tendency moderated a bit over the years, probably due to seeing the chilling sight of a bike on its side and a tarp completely covering an unmoving body, too many times.
Now I have interests that not only require that I stay alive in order to be able to do them, I also have to have my extremities intact and functioning fully so the little thrills of really pushing it on a motorcycle are just not worth it to me now.
