Shit! Same here! I moved out here with my 883 and then sold it to a guy in my old neighborhood. Truth is, people get fucked up and die out here on bikes. The roads are great, but everyday is a new challenge. With all the farming, there could be grain in the road on a turn, that wasn’t there an hour ago. Also, two lane roads with ag ditches full of water sometimes. It was enough to make me give it up.
Yeah I went down at high speed years ago, though I just fractured my tibua. Weirdly disconnected experience but the people who care about me were very upset.
Never went down. Never will. You can’t die on a bike if you don’t ride one. Glad you made it out ok. I have many friends fucked up on bikes, two killed. I learned from them.
Sorry to hear that. I was young and reckless, but these days I have more reasons to live so I should stay off too.
