Yeah, I know the statistics. My crash I spoke about was off road, on private farmland, riding my enduro bike. I do ride on road, as well as on closed circuits when I can, but two wheels is no longer my only form of transport. I used to do over 100,000 km a year on road, on various motorcycles. Now it’s closer to 15,000.

I understand the risks. I also know what it does for me and my mental health.

I’ll never give it up. Well, unless I’m a danger to others.

Late 50’s and always been fit. I had a crash on my motorcycle (off road, went over the bars) which took three weeks to recover from. Serious bruising to both legs as they caught on the bars. Had trouble walking for three days. Limped for over two weeks. Still got legs that range from yellow to purple.

Finally figuring out that my teen years are behind me. Now reconsidering buying a Ducati desmo450mx. Might have to be a fucking golf cart instead.
