Thanks all. After about 3 years of absolute motorbike bliss, which included many long trips as well as lots of crazy time on the track, I fell off my bike in Lesotho ;-) Just slipped and slid across the road and went into the side barrier. Really don't know why I fell since I thought I was quite good on my bike. Wasnt even going that fast - about 90 or 100. Famous last words ;-)

A few days in hospital, some broken bones and a few weeks in bed - I recovered - but the bike was written off (chassis was bent). The bottom line was that I was lucky I wore my full protective gear. My carbon kevlar helmet looked like a broken egg shell after you've taken the egg out! My only permanent damage is that my one eye perceives colour slightly less vividly than the other. This was from the knock to the head. I consider myself quite lucky and it was a cheap price to pay, all things considered.

This happened about 8 or 9 years ago. At the time, I promised my family I would stop riding. I think it was the right decision for me.

HOWEVER, I crave it more than a real cigarette ;-) Hence the sniff sniff part.

But I console myself (no-one else in my family understands this) by reliving many of the fond memories ;-)

Riding bikes is definitely a risk. I think with regard to having small kids, its probably not worth the thrill you get, considering the potential disaster than can easily unfold in a blink of an eye.

But it is damn thrilling - best thrill I've had ever - without question.
 
This was my baby! Roofdier! BMW R1150GS.
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique. What a bike!

Interesting, my biking buddy who was with me in Lesotho was on a GS1150. He didnt fall. We think the road was quite slippery at the point I fell.

Lovely bike!
You still riding @TylerD ?

Thanks Silver. No, stopped when my daughter was born. It is a very dangerous game and want to rather raise my daughter than bike.
Maybe one day I will get myself an offroad just to play around. Atleast there isn't any cars to think for.

I have some friends who have done just that. They go offroading every so often. They are nagging me to get an offroader and join them. Probably is the most sensible compromise... so me too... maybe some day...
 
Stroker 20v throttles on meth. Well when it was alive its stripped and sold
