Once years ago . I had a pretty good crash on the moto track 1/2 mile from our house. I had a string of injuries and crashes leading up to this. I got one of my friends to start the bike and I painfully got on and putted it home.
Got the bike in the garage and climbed off and put the triangle in the rear axle. I then decided to have a little
lay down on the nice cool concrete. The wife walks out and sees' me laying on the ground.
She ask's , what happened? I tell her about the crash and tell her I think. I'm done. I'm tired of being hurt and I'm tired of spending dollars fixing the bike! I ask her to please get me a beer. She does.
Then, she said to me. Ok. so you quit riding. Then what are you going to do? Your friends all ride. Your going to
be bored . Your going to be unhappy. When your friends are riding or racing and your not.
Riding makes you happy! You will feel different. About this in a couple of days.
She was right of course! I kept riding and racing for another 10 years after that crash. I miss motocross.
She has righted my course a few times over 30 plus years. When I have lost my focus or been feeling sorry for myself. We all need a good talking to. Once in a while.
