I've had a lot of fun on motorcycles in my lifetime. Drag raced in Japan, scrambled a few in the desert in New Mexico, etc.

I found out there are definite stages you go through with a motorcyle. You begin by being scared of it. Then you gain confidence, but still have a healthy respect for the thing. Next you get overconfident and nonchalant, and wham! You're back to being scared of it again.

Also busted a helmet once in Japan. Was going around a curve on a blacktop road and some old Papa-san had thrown a bucket of slop water on the road. Bike simply went out from under me. To anyone who is anti-helmet, when you take a busted one off and look at it, it doesn't take long to put 2 and 2 together.

The bottom line was, about 20 years ago I decided I'd quit while I was ahead.
