Back to square 1 after my accident recently

[Delphi]

So I don't have the heart to hang up the bikes, I just can't do it. I sold my YZ250 this afternoon, and I'm looking at a Kawi KLX300R. I have this uncle that I rarely talk to, but he had been texting me lately and he has always been into snowmobiles and dual sport bikes. He doesn't ride crazy, but he enjoys himself. It sort of made me reassess the way we ride.

My issue was I was riding the wrong type of bike for me and it got me in trouble. Honestly, I rode tracks because that's what the kids wanted to do, and my idiot friend and I thought we were 15 years old again whenever we would hit the tracks. Well....I'm not 15 yrs old, and I like the gym, and it helps to stay in 1 piece to go to the gym!!

So then I thought, "I'll just stick to trails and tone it down" and I began looking at the KLX300 with the low end torque and slightly different power displacement and clutch response. So now I'm looking at that bike because I'm an idiot who can't stay off the bike!!

I got on my bike earlier and ran it up and down the street a few times before the buyer got to my house (since I hadn't started it since the wreck) and then walked back inside to argue with the wife about getting back on the thing 4 days after my hospital release.

Then when she overheard my plans to switch bikes and get a different one the argument got really bad!!

Sorry, but the pain of getting rid of something my son loves to do with me would hurt me more than 7 fractured ribs!! I can't do it. However, we did have a talk about the type of riding we would do when I got back on the bike and I told him that if it was a track day I'd be the grill master and bring my chair to sit in and watch, hahah

Get a jetski... more fun, and the water is a lot more forgiving!

I honestly get bored with them but that’s just me.

 

[malfeasance]

LOL! Be careful, Demondosage. And don't argue with the wife. She means well for you, so do not treat her badly. She is just worried about you, and with justification, you must admit.

Same. I like renting them a few times a summer, max.

I’m a stubborn fuck, I’ll admit it. Once I’m set on something nobody is going to stop me, I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do. She just took out another 100k life insurance policy on me, LOL. But the good news is I’m healing, however 7 fractured ribs fucking sucks!! I thought it was only 6 till I read the report where it said 7 of them. Ahh fuck it at this point, what’s 1 more gonna hurt rt? I’m back on the treadmill and my oxygen intake is 98% rt now, I should be cleared to lift light weights in about 1-2 more weeks

 

[Ninjaturtle2020]

As someone who's had a couple near death motorcycle experiences I'd suggest giving it up for your kid(s) and wife man. Though I still ride, i have really boring bikes now lol

 

[Demondosage]

Ok, so I thought long and hard abt this. I’m done with tracks but not with riding trails, I don’t have the heart to tell my son we aren’t doing this anymore when he loves it so much and it’s been such a huge part of his life since he was 4 years old. That would hurt me more than my injuries! So I sold my yz and picked up a 2020 Kawasaki KLX300r woods bike, which surprisingly is no slouch! Lots of low and mid range power but it isn’t the same kind of bike that would get away from you and get you in trouble. Next project is probably a crf150 enduro build for my son. I really want to hit the mountains more in 2022.

 

[Gbro]

That's a good choice

 

[Demondosage]

That's a good choice

I like the bike, it’s a little heavy and not that break your neck acceleration but steady power and easy to maneuver. I would definitely feel more comfortable on this as a trail bike

 

[Dead]

Oh for sure dude! Funny thing was, I thought I broke my neck when it happened due to the small scapula fracture and pain at base of it where it comes into my back.

I have never wrecked that hard in my life before, fortunately I had a buddy rt behind me on the track and he drove me to the hospital after I walked off the track. How I walked off that track is due to a higher power beyond me, I’ll tell you that much. I’ve been laying in the hospital bed looking at center console boats on marketplace. I’m going to have to replace the hobby with something rt? Hello lakes and ocean bay areas, hello fish!!!

This shit kinda hurts to read hope u heal up m

thanks, I'm doing ok I suppose. I fell off on the diet hard the past month, when I got released from the hospital I began eating everything and anything! After 2 wks of shitty hospital food it was open season on eating. I lost 15 lbs during the 2 wks I was in that place. The ribs aren't too bad but the top of my abs are constantly flexed and spasmed and it gets annoying. It's very hard to get up out of bed from a position of lying flat. Everything else is manageable. Couldn't stand what the pain pills were doing to my digestion so I ditched most of them.

Yeah I broke my ribs in october 2020 with my collarbone. Thankfully I didn't need rib surgery though they were shattered. Rib pain is the worst! Can't breathe, can't lay down, and if you have to cough RIP lol

This is something I believe that is the body overcompensating to protect an injured area. I worked out and stretched tonight, hoping that relieves it some

 

[CoffeeZombie]

So now since dad won’t be riding moto with his son anymore, my son wants to get into racing drift cars. I’m like dude, can’t you just play soccer or baseball and do something fucking normal? Does everything have to involve speed and high risks like this?

I understand what this is about, but I think when the risk is high, a person gets more adrenaline and emotions. So to speak, to experience the level of his fear and how he can act in such situations. From the category I can or not)

Exactly this

I have learned, that two people can get the same excitment/adrenaline rush. One can have sensory overload from something like the sunset, while another person it takes skydiving to get that same fixation, as it did for the other to just watch the sunset.

each person experiences the same feeling, just from different external sources.
