You seem to have a realy good M/C head screwed on you & now you have had a small mishap I think you should consider becoming a M/C instructor. :wink:

I like riding w/ others b/c it helps me to work when I am leading - to improve my skills and when I follow it is easier b/c I watch the leader more than the road. I still watch the road ahead of the leader, but it seems to be less "work" to follow. With my crash last month; ride your own ride means more to me. I crashed b/c I could not stop as fast on my big bike as the leader on a KTM.................and I should not have tried. Glad you did not get hurt really bad.........get back out there :D

Glad you're not too busted up, Toyuzu! I hate to hear about things like this, but the sad fact is many of us fall victim to the same thing you did. I'm just glad there was a relatively soft place for you to land. Coulda been loads worse. As soon as you're able, I hope you'll get back on and take a nice ride over those whoop-dee-do's that were in the pics you posted. That should get you back on track! There are lots of guys I'd just as soon would quit riding altogether... you're not one of 'em! :thumbsup:
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?

Hmmm...Toyuzu crashes his bike, and Ozzy suggests he bocome an M/C instructor.....Something doesn't add up. :laughing:

Hey Poppygene - no worries! I rode to work this morning, and I just got my new Joe Rocket armored pants today, so of course I had to go try them out. :wink: I'm already back out. I never stopped, in fact. 8)

Glad to hear that you are ok. Nice to hear as well that you want to get right back on the bike. That was the same attitude I had as well. Kind of weird that it scares some, but not others. The one good thing about a mistake like this, is you learn a valuable lesson.

If that were true, everybody would have seen him, hanging out and looking 'cool' at every gathering of 3 or more bikes..... and he seems more selective about revealing himself than that.

Maybe it's stuck in his garage, waiting for parts..... :laughing: :twisted: :laughing:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:
