So true...

I learnt a while ago that crashing doesn't really hurt, it's afterwards and the recovery that is a biatch!

In my early new days of riding motorcycles, I laid down more than I like to admit. Luckily, being young (and stupid!), I healed. Today? No way. Full suit up everytime. I don't know. Just common sense kicked in somewhere along the road after reading and hearing and seeing wayyyyyyy too many bikers going down. 'Taint worth it. Wish somehow we could "teach" the young'uns how to behave, but I fear it's only life's little experiences along the way that are truly the only physically agility tests they need to take. I just hope they survive as I did and learn from it........*sigh*.....
