Can't immagine what it would be like in your case But i would like to ask you a question myself: I am intent on getting a motorcycle myself, but what do you think of the risk/reward status? is it worth it to risk your life. I'm asking for a subjective opinion since i don't think there is an objective one. But i always wonder wheater it is worth the danger of getting a motorcycle. Get one. I love mine. Just....don't drive in busy areas with it. You got to be really aware of everything. I couldn't really of prevented mine, because I was already slowing cuz 2 cars turned before the one I ran into, so I already started slowing. She just thought she could beat me, which was retarded as fuck. She hesistated then hit her breaks because when she turned into the parking lot, the other cars weren't around the corner yet so she was covering half my lane. I'd still ride my bike on a highway if it were rideable. OMG it is sooooooooooooooooooooo fucking fun. Great stress relief. I don't really think about much while im on it, except going. The wind hitting you. It's just nice. I love everything about it. I'd definitely get another one. But not for a long time | ||

I'm trying not to take to many of the pain pills/muscle relaxers they gave me. Only if the pain is truly unbearable, Which is when I wake up in the morning Also, Teo, me and my best friend. We laughed everytime we passed a moped =P Get a bike, for real. Get a 250CC somethin. Gas mileage is great, and if your not tempted to go over a 100, then it sounds good. I had a 500....Was thinking of getting a 750 | ||

That's all you took from that? -_- No, I'm sure I would primarily still wear a helmet. Answer me a question, do you ride motorcycles? And then go to another motorcyclist and ask him if he always wears a recommended riding jacket with pads, riding boots, chaps, and motorcycle riding gloves. And yes, I would probably not wear my helmet every casual ride I go on if I lived in a no helmet law state. | ||

I crashed twice, nothing that serious. First time with my yamaha FZ6N (600), some girl didn't see there was a redlight, while I was accelerating to pass at orange~red... ended up in her car, moto didn't look good but I got lucky myself, just scractches. Second time, recently, with my yamaha XJR1300 (1300), first day of my job, I was trying to impress the pretty secretary, started like crazy on the parking, and failed like a dumbass on the first corner. Slid and rammed into the road security things. Again, got lucky myself while the bike didn't. I hope you can recover well. And get a new bike if you so desire. And be even more cautious about all the shit that can occur to us, while still enjoying riding it. For now, take it easy, and good luck. | ||

I seen a minecraft tribute to him where they made a pic of him with blocks. Srsly tho, he needs to be the voice for books on tape or somethin lol. Damn....XJR1300, and you just laid it out in a parking lot?! | ||

My uncle died before I was born in a bike crash, biking seems to run through the family. My dad has gone through about 15, pretty sure he's past it now though, he sold his last one a few years back. I'm surprised he hasn't had any serious accidents considering his tendency to speed, and I know at least a couple of those bikes were totalled  | ||

On another note what kind of Ninja did you have? I'm in the process of selling my current bike (96 suzuki bandit) for an upgrade. I'm mostly looking at CBRs and either an r6 or an r1 but I've seen some pretty good deals on Ninja ZX6rs. Just wondering if you had anything to possibly say about the performance? But anyways just do your best to stay positive. Like you said you're lucky to be alive and not paralyzed from the neck down. I have known a number of people to not be so lucky. As for the two jobs thing, that's one of the last things you should be worrying about, you'll be taken care of. Hopefully someday soon you'll be in well enough health to possibly get back on. (: EDIT: Just saw in a previous post that you said you had a 500cc? So nevermind on that second paragraph I guess. d: | ||

I'll never understand why people insist on doing dangerous things with minimal to no protection. You also admitted a few posts up that you don't wear even the basic minimal gear on each ride..... Just because lots of people do stupid shit doesn't mean it's something you should follow. it wasnt an admission. That's looking at it as I'm doing something wrong. Not going 100% for safety is not wrong....So please, don't use my blog to criticize me for something when I did everything correct. k bro? | ||

Nah, but that was the point where I realized 'this guy whines that he got hurt while obviously he doesn't give a shit about safety'. Coz you don't, if you don't wanna wear helmet at all times. Hell, riding a motorcycle is generally saying that you don't really care, especially such big one. No, obviously I'm a car driver and I don't like motorcycle drivers on the roads. Oh, and I've been in 2 car-motorcycle crashes so far(their fault), the only thing that was damaged on my side was the car, they both winded up in hospital. Didn't really give a fuck about what happened to them anyway. I understand people riding small bikes to commute easilly, but riding such a beast and not even waring a helmet is just dumb. That's why people call you organ donors. You quit riding a bike, coz you're afraid that you might get hurt again? That's pretty much saying I'm right. EDIT: Oh, it's not like I'm superevil carmageddon fella riding over every motorcycle driver and I'm happy you're hurt. I hope you make a full recovery, never ride a bike again;but seriously - you had it comming. Imagine what would happen if you were driving a car instead(well, too bad, the insurance is gonna cover a new bumper:<). | ||

Still even after my crash which resulted in a fair amount of road rash and a somewhat deep gash in my ankle. I was so nervous getting back on my bike for the first time but after riding a motorcycle there was no way I could go back to a car. Very little compares to the enjoyment of riding motorcycles for me. On another note what kind of Ninja did you have? I'm in the process of selling my current bike (96 suzuki bandit) for an upgrade.

(: 2005 Kawasaki Ninja Ex500, black and silver. dual exhaust. I just loved it. Even though she wasn't the fastest, I think topping out at 136 is pretty good for it. =) I bolded that for a good reason....I feel that same way....The pure enjoyment of just being on one is ridiculous. Anyone that says anything else has probably not rode one, or has and has wrecked and never got over it....No body just stops riding one day like "eh...its just not fun anymore, I'd rather drive a car" I know....I know...Its just I had just started this other job last month....and I was probably gonna wind up the store manager man...Fuck....that just eats me up....The other job can go fuck itself.... My gf's brother-in-law I think just got a YZF r750, and that thing screams....it has a few probs with it and I was gonna help him a lil in getting shit down, but idk....a ZX6R Ninja wouldn't do you bad, they are really pretty bikes in my opinion. I don't know much as to the performance. I'd go with the CBR though. I've had my problems with getting parts for my Ninja...But that's just probably my model too...so Idk... And do you really need all the power that a 10X has to offer? I mean shit, only reason I'd ever try and push my bike that hard would be to outrun the cops, but thats dangerous as fuck. Lol... | ||
