I respect your decision and wish you a speedy and complete recovery. In 1993 I sold my bikes and didn't ride for 14 years for fear of crashing and getting badly injured or killed. I never even crashed on a street bike. Dirt bikes many times but I never got injured to the point of breaking anything. I don't know why but I just had this feeling it was time to hang it up. Then one day a couple of years ago I took a ride on my cousin's Yamaha cruiser and the fuse was lit once again. It took me two years to save the cash for another bike and here I am with a VFR in my garage. I'm in my mid forties and figured it was now or never.
