Re: Think ive ended my motorcycling career
I felt similar after collecting a sheep at 100 - 110 kph, writing off the bike, I was concussed and severely bruised all over but somehow no real injuries. The worst injury was to my confidence, I didn't ride at all for about 5 years. A mate talked me into getting on his spare bike one afteroon and we just went for a cruise out through the country side, needless to say a matter of days after that I was on a new bike and it was like I never stopped.

Mate, your alive, uninjured, bike is repairable and you have had a scare.

Learn from this and keep riding, I could bang on about this but I wont as it would be repeating whats already said.

Re: Think ive ended my motorcycling career
So I have a question for you. If you aren't doing what you love, are you really living?Saki wrote: I love riding its in my blood, but at the same time i love living and being healthy! So its a bit of a double edge sword!
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

In my humble opinion..... Use the insurance money to buy a trackbike, trailer and new leathers.... Commuting isnt that much fun anyway

Re: Think ive ended my motorcycling career
Saki, I agree with you. It sounds like you are a very fearful and sensitive person, so It might just be best if you wrap yourself up in cotton wool and hide for the remainder of your life!
