He is also winding down on his moto fascination and doing more mountain bike riding these days. Maybe the three of us should get out for a trail ride some time soon.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492451529512798868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163624887845723720.post-78176757237074823142010-05-27T03:33:33.968-07:002010-05-27T03:33:33.968-07:00Understand completely.

When I lived in Portland 1978-1980 and used to Hang Glide out over the Hood River, I realized that I was the sole provider for my family of wife and 2 children. So I gave up hang gliding. Returned to motorcycling in 1990. Kids now fully grown and wife loves to ride as much as I do (2 up). Life changes. You will be back on a bike some day.Walt and Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13366103976544766132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163624887845723720.post-49693748343878354912010-05-26T23:07:45.207-07:002010-05-26T23:07:45.207-07:00I think it is great that you have an ongoing thoug...I think it is great that you have an ongoing thought process about this. Black and white thinking is all too common as is being stuck in our own past assumptions. Each day includes new risk management and we are all dead in the end. It seems to me that the thoughtful motorcyclists understand this better than the non-riders who imagine their lives to be without risk. Of course, since I'm writing from Kabul some will assume I don't consider risk but I do and I'm very careful.Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847158782912546969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163624887845723720.post-87379659968024401982010-05-26T18:57:16.624-07:002010-05-26T18:57:16.624-07:00Sounds like you gave this a lot of thought!

I've often wondered too if I'm risking too much by riding (especially given the accident I was in already).<br /><br />I think I enjoy the adventure aspect too much to ever let it go completely, but when riding in America I am certainly more vigilant now than I was before my accident.Beau Gundersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563487171257953906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163624887845723720.post-47623291648123446372010-05-26T04:16:52.878-07:002010-05-26T04:16:52.878-07:00I like risking hurting myself on a mountain bike m...I like risking hurting myself on a mountain bike much more than on a motorcycle, in part because trees don't turn left into you.Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847158782912546969noreply@blogger.com
