I have had numerous friends killed and maimed; hell, I have a permanent injury, but not for a second did I consider not riding again. A friend of mine was in a crash that killed his girlfriend and removed a leg. As soon as he could manage his prosthetic he was up and riding again.
Exactly. I've been riding for about the same amount of time I've been in the business and I have dumped my bike at least a 1/2 dozen times (as a youngster) and have had one accident that put me in the hospital with a dislocated shoulder. I plan on buying another, this summer and I will never, ever stop riding.
