Hi forum members, I just broke my leg after a big accident on the freeway. Luckily it was a mid-shaft femur break, some idiot pulled out in front of my while I was lane-splitting and I went into his BMW’s trunk. I missed work for five weeks and am in crutches. While my spirit isn’t broken, I see myself looking at bikers and really wanting to get back on. BUT I promised my family and my fiancée that I would never get on them again. Of course I have always heard how dangerous they are etc…
Its been about a month and a half since the accident, as I get my leg strength back up and see a light at the end of the tunnel, I can really see myself riding. Granted it won’t be for a year or two since I would have to save my money and I would never buy a motorcycle in the middle of summer since they are so expensive, but I slowly see the “bull calling me back for another ride”. To be honest I had a sport bike and was extremely reckless, in other words it wasn’t my first bike accident and continues to drive my Ninja like a madman. I have learned my lesson and if I do ride will be extremely cautious. I live is Los Angeles too which is not the most biker-friendly city in the US.
Any guidance, tips or experience you can share with me? I really could use some insight on this, I know I am not the first to have this happen.
