When I finally was able to afford to get back into riding, I elected not to out of respect and love for my wife who was too afraid that something bad would happen and she'd be left to raise 3 kids without me. But when the kids got older and the money came easier, I jumped back in and haven't regretted my decision. I don't worry about the risk much any more although I agree that we're clearly more at risk than those in a car. I don't like sitting at a stop light (afraid of some nut coming up from the rear), I don't like riding on i285 around Atlanta, I don't like riding in the rain, I don't like riding on a forest service road alone on my KLR, and I'm especially afraid of Walmart parking lots. But other than that... I love riding and look forward to it every chance I get! I enjoyed your video.
LoL. Walmart Parking Lots!! I think I have to 100% agree with where you/we "don't" like riding. But we LOVE riding!! You make some good points tho...perhaps there is some wisdom when the "season" of our life is better suited for this Passion we have of Riding. Thanks so much for sharing!
