i cant get over it when people say, I/he/she had a wreck on my/his/her bike and the riding days are over.. if everyone thought that way there wouldnt be many cars left on the roads today...when ya fall off the horse get back on,,unless of course something like what happend to Christopher Reeves
I guess I can see it both ways. No way I would quit riding over this but... This wasn't that bad an accident, my main problems have been caused by the medical care I received for the break I think. And, of course, just by virtue of being a 50 odd year-old fat guy who broke his leg.
Even though it wasn't too bad an accident it's been a hardship for my family. My wife, kids, grand-kids and daughter-in-laws have all helped us out in one way or another. Thankfully the wife and I have pretty good health insurance, and in-spite of that we will have spent around 5 grand out of pocket if it goes well from here on out. Twenty years ago, that could have cost us our home. I suppose if everything possible goes wrong, it still could.
For someone with kids to support whose worried about incurring further medical bills, a spouse who doesn't support continuing to ride or someone with anxiety issues stopping for good or for a while might be the best choice.
I do plan on trying to ride a little less aggressively in the future but I'll probably throw that out the window as soon as I throw a leg over the scooter.
