[QUOTE="TrueBlueGT, post: 11706181, member: 14641"] I love my bike too. Sold my last sport bike four years ago and still miss it like crazy. Bought a brand new drz 400 this spring. Cruising the back roads, across the fields, and through the pastures scratches my itch without the risks a sport bike brings. I get to enjoy riding with zero traffic around me and the only risk is if I fail to do my job as a rider. I had six sportbikes and put probably 50k mikes on them. Totaled one, beat the hell out of another in a low side (damn chip seal on a corner got me), and had good luck with the other four. Everybody I knew and used to ride with wore full gear all the time but we still got hurt. Every one of us ended up with broken bones and busted bikes. Its part of it and a part that was no longer worth it to me. Was trying to convey to the OP that the things you can ignore at 20 come back and hurt again down the line. Those pins and such in his arms and shoulders are going to be there to remind him forever. Every time the weather changes they will ache. When its cold they will ache. When you slam into something accidentally it'll make you piss your pants. Sometimes its worth knowing what's down the road so you can make an informed decision what route to take. [/QUOTE]
