Have you ever been in an accident before? Your kind of scarred shitless for about a week sometimes more until you can shake that "street fright" for a while, then things start to sink back in and yes your back on the road but this time a much better rider/driver!

 

yea ill be back on one, im just waitin for the insurance settlement before i buy

 

Glad to hear your okay and made it out alive. I've been riding for a few years now and haven't had a accident yet. More close calls than I care to have (including being bounced into on coming traffic because of a shitty road). It'll eventually happen, especially if you ride in the DFW. But the feeling of going 175+ or just crusining around town on sundays keeps me going.

 

LMAO! I posted the link to my accident in my previous post.

Anyway, you are pretty much guaranteed a mishap your first year of riding. The percentage is literally 99.2%. Doesn't matter what kind of bike you have either. There probably is an exception to the "owners" over the "riders" though. The lawyers, bankers, and "ride only on sunny days with 0 wind and 85 degrees people" probably have a lower percentage. I daily mine, and practically knew that something was going to happen to me in the first 5 months of owning it. Hell I damn near dropped it in the parking lot 2 seconds after I bought the thing! I decided to drop a nut instead by keeping it from touching the ground.

 

major respect for wearing your helmet. i see too many guys being badasses around town with no helmet. that's a terrible example to set.

 

Thats some funny ****
Hope you get better man

 

Major +1 on that.

As you can see, it only takes a split second to go down. Please, please, please - wear your brain buckets!!!

 

Helmets are your friend!

Hope you feel better!
