It's goodnight from me...............

[Enceladus]

we all have had some degree of layoff for personal reasons. I know how much pleasure ( and pain) a bike can bring. I am glad I kept going. Have had some incredible rides and experiences in last 15 yrs, which I would not trade for the world.
I think there is a novelty with bikes for sure, and maybe I have got through all the " firsts" eg first trackday, first kneedown, first foreign tour, tec. But feel now I am just enjoying being on my bike for the " freedom" and easy performance it brings.Nothing can explain just why wew rid ebikes I am sure, but I am happy every time I swing the leg over even if its just a quick local ride.

Hang up ur leathers if it suits, but dont write off ones biking career for an isolated incident.

so true
definitely won't be the last time i ride, just not right to do so now.
might even try and get back into motocross
