Yes, I should have been wearing more gear.Lion_Lady wrote:Were you wearing gear when you crashed? How do you think that effects how badly you were injured?
It certainly sounds like your determination is there, you've just got to take baby steps to regain your confidence. Remember to keep your practices short (the stress/adrenaline will wear you out much more quickly than you can imagine) and end on a positive note.
Good luck and keep us posted!
P
twice, but you didnt. Just keep trucking on...I have been reading about people who were in accidents so bad they lost consciousness or were temporarily paralyzed but love motorcycling so much they made their way back to riding, some having to make alterations because of permanent damage. Breathe through those panic attacks and remind yourself that was then and this is now...good luck I know it is hard getting back on the horse.ALMOST crashed
With how big a moose is you'd probably be better off jumping off of the bike and landing on it like a horse...Triumphgirl wrote:Then I got thinking about, what if I hit a deer or moose on my bike?

Hi Clutch,clutch wrote:Thank you all so much! It really helps to know that I'm not crazy or inferior for being scared. When I asked some guys about the fear, they treated me like I was stupid. So I'm really glad this ladies forum is here.
I've seen people suggest that if you can't start on a certain size bike you have no business riding. Or if you ride certain bikes you have no business riding. etc. etc etc.clutch wrote:Thank you all so much! It really helps to know that I'm not crazy or inferior for being scared.

Hi all, thought I would chip in.clutch wrote:Hi, Ladies
I'm new here. I'm so glad to find this place!
My fiance has been riding for about 20 years. I've been riding as a passenger for 2 years.
He surprised me and got a Honda Rebel 250. I completed the MSF beginners course in June so I could start riding.
On my first trek outside of the neighborhood, I crashed. I was trying to keep up with him while going around a curve, but I ran off the road.
Three months later, my leg has finally healed up enough to try riding again. So I tried to ride today. I just stayed on our neighborhood street.
Although I thought I was ready physically & emotionally, the fear took over. The only thing I could think was "I'm going to crash! I'm going to crash! I'm going to crash!" I never made it off of our street. And I almost crashed twice!
I want to ride, but I'm afraid to get back on the bike.
How do you conquer your fear after a crash?
