[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 210634, member: 3959"] Interesting that I happen upon this thread as I lie here licking my wounds again. I just crashed (lightly) my buddies 83 CR480 wicked fast bike that we recently got running, against a curb this past Saturday (damn drum brakes and petrified rear rubber) about 20 feet from where I layed over my KLX650 a couple months ago (same petrified rear rubber). We got it running and I jumped on it "just to take it for a quick whip". Well, we didn't screw the seat down, and I came into the corner (asphalt) too fast and parked it into the curb, and my thigh went head-to-head with the subframe. Right now I'm purple from my ass cheek to my knee. I made it to work on Monday, but as an always active and athletic 46 years, it's sometimes hard to relinquish the thought you're just not a bad-ass like you used to be. Although I have traditionally been a slow learner, most times the hard way. Pain has been a wonderful instructor. It's a good thing I'm tough. But the fucked up part is, I am just now getting into motocross (on an actual track), and cannot wait to put the reeds I just got today into my YZ250, and get back to the track and go learn how to fly through the air. I was good at it 30 years ago, more on a bicycle than a motorcycle, but I always had it either way. Balance has always been my strong point. And even though I cannot even remotely be able to afford an injury, I just dont feel like I cannot afford to NOT re-learn it. I just love flying through the air, no matter how it happens. Life is strange, and I have severely injured myself while skydiving professionally, but I just...man, I dont know. I would rather die doing what I love doing (and have come close a few times), that not ever having tried to be that guy. Pain is temporary, glory lasts forever, and chicks dig scars, right? I am conflicted with this though. When I watch videos of guys riding motocross, I think "I can do that". And I have always been that guy that could. My motto is (doesn't matter what we're talking about) "if some other guy can do it, then I can do it too, and probably better", and I usually can. I guess I am refusing to grow old... [/QUOTE]
