It's more like you're attacking my excuses to pick an argument. You make it sound like I'm giving it up altogether and will never ride street again. I have a plan...and it involves letting some time pass before I hit the streets. I'm totally fine with it. Will I miss riding with my buds? You're god damn right. But I'm doing the right thing right now. Sorry if you don't agree with it.
Wait...no I'm not.

Well gee whiz, where did I get these ideas? Hmmmmm.... Oh yea, this might have something to do with it,
DLIT, "Not a bad guess. I wasn't trail braking. I just use my lean to scrub speed off if need be. But you could be right. I still think I should've felt some feedback. I was already leaning right. Who knows. Important thing is I'm here still.
I'll proly never ride street again. I don't have fun unless I'm hauling ass, but I can't risk getting that lucky again. My gear and a metric fuck ton of luck saved my ass."
If I can't be the "fastest guy" then I don't want to ride at all....
DLIT, "I still have my R6. And I'm the fastest guy I know on the streets.
But I highly doubt I'll ever ride street on a sport bike again."
Why do I think that you wouldn't be happy in the "slow" group?....
DLIT, "That's the thing.
I'm not having fun if I'm not hauling ass anymore. It's kind of an all or nothing type thing with me. Even the track is still up in the air. I'd have to sell all my street fairings just so I wouldn't be tempted."
Blaming the insurance rates for your decision....
DLIT, "
My insurance is gonna sky rocket after I claim the R1. I probably couldn't afford keeping the R6 fully covered anyway. Off the street it will come."
Putting it on the wife/family....
DLIT, "Won't be on the streets in probably years. For me,
for my wife, for my family. Track only for a while."
This is my favorite because you state that you're set in your ways even though you've progressively changed your mind as you've healed....
DLIT, "It goes back to me actually being able to ride again. I'll be satisfied in the middle group for now. There's nothing to argue.
I'm set in my ways and thoughts now.
Anyway, I expect that you'll be back on the street, on a sport bike by Spring at the latest, barring any SO complications, that is.
Good luck, man, I mean that!
