Your Accident

Yo Comike;

I'm sorry that you've had an accident and I'm really glad you weren't badly hurt. I'm also glad that you understand your shortcomings as a rider as well as the dynamics of the wreck situation. I do, however, feel your as though decision to "throw in the towel" was made in haste and out of fear. If everytime we fell down while learning to walk we were to "throw in the towel" we would be a world full of people who crawl. Did you not fall off your bicycle whilst learning? Did you "throw in the towel" there? Have you ever wrecked a car? Did you "throw in the towel" there too?

Jeez bro, you've posted less than 20 times on the forum so I assume you are quite new to motorcycling. Are you sure you've given this enough time? Competent motorcycling skills are aquired over years not months. There are as you know, only two types of bikers, those that have wrecked and those that are going to wreck. You could view it as getting your wreck out of the way sooner rather than later. I encourage you to get back on and go for it again. This time be more attentive and remember the lessons you have learned.

Dude, it's your ass, you can do with it as you see fit, but us long time bikers (not "motorcycle enthusiasts") will tell you it takes a certain mettle to continue riding after an accident. We bikers understand that, do you?

:sad:
