I went from 1995 to 2005 not riding after the last accident.....it takes a while for the hurt to leave your mind after being t-boned at 70 mph. Three months out of work & bankruptcy dosen't help a whole lot either. I hope the little bitch that turned left on me rots in Hell.

Only money or debilitating health issues could stop me from riding.
Nothing else (kids, spouse, etc.) would stop me. |

Plus ONE! (omg you people are evil turning the + one sign into that! LMAO!!) In the past, the only thing that has stopped me is money. Had to sell a bike because I needed the money and it was a bit before I could afford another one. But I usually find a way to ride. Either friends or boyfriends had bikes I could ride until I got my own again. |

Not having a bike to ride would do it.
Aside from that, I go on gut. I have quit for periods because I got the feeling that I needed to. Can't explain it, it just seemed like the right thing to do. Then pick back up when that seemed right. Weird, but that's just me. |

Im not sure.
I'd like to say nothing. But if I loved a woman, and she suffered some horrible tragedy because of them, like say, dad dying on a bike, and they made her uncomfortable, then yes, I would probably give them up. Some girl who's just got the ignorant 'bikes are dangerous' attitude, I probably wouldnt bother with in the first place. I have no idea what the future brings. I would give up my bike before i'd give up my snowmobile. I love riding, but its not the magical thing it was when I was 21 on the rc51. That said, I got my first streetbike, an 01 RC51, leftover in 02, and I havent gone a summer without a bike yet. Though this summer I couldnt ride cuz of burns, and I really didnt miss it horribly. But, I also knew there was no way I could ride, wether I wanted to or not. |

Yes. unfortunately theres no nearby track, which blows. But ive had 2 liter bikes before the harley, and ive been across the country on an rc51 (fast too). Had dirt bikes when i was young. And rode quads most of my life.
My next bike is a Busa. I do want more power than I have now. Riding just doesnt make me excited like it used to. I still love it, but I'd trade bikes for eternal winter and deep powder sledding in a second. Last edited by Apoc; 11-26-2009 at 10:01 PM.. |

Shattered kneecap works pretty well. I recommend it to anyone who wants a part of their body to never quite be the same.
