Fear of death or injury

[mininsx_imp]

I quit riding when my son was around 2, one, because I seemed to be having a lot of "close calls" and two, because one of my friends from work (who used to ride after drinking and getting high) wrecked and broke his back, and was in a wheelchair the rest of his life. I didn't want my son to be raised by a dad in a wheelchair so the bike was sold. When he was 14 or 15 I got another bike. I was good for about a year then I totaled it (my fault). Got another one and flipped over the hood of a car and totaled that one (not my fault). A couple of years later I got a Honda RC51 (first sportbike) and I ended up totaling that! (My fault-new to bike but should have known better) I almost quit after that because that one did some damage but I didn't, and I'm still riding. Crazy? Maybe, but we're all gonna die some day anyway, so might as well enjoy it while you can.
