Dryriver,

I admire your judgment and respect your decision.

I recently had to give up motocross. My last big crash in 2006 threatened my health and my career, and I decided it just wasn't worth the risk anymore. And you know, it was painful.....very difficult to let go of. I still think about motocross just about every day. But I wanted to let you know, while the first several months were painful, these days when I think about dirt bikes I do so with good memories. I think about the good times, and I'm happy to have logged so many laps on so many tracks. My Road Star is a great outlet for me, but I'll always miss racing in the dirt.

So, maybe a trike or some other form of motorized device will help you transition. But trust that you'll have good memories logged from your time as a biker.

The most important thing is that you'll be safe, though.

Best wishes for a full recovery!

Mike
