No more motor cycle rides for me

I don't believe you can live if you are afraid to die. Now if motorcycles are just not your thing that is ok but I would not give up something you love.

Many years ago i saw first hand how important leather is. I would bet that you did not have a leather jacket on. I do not have a bike now but when I do it is a full face helmet, leather jacket or something that can slide with some padding, gloves, long pants, and boots. That also goes for dirt bikes. On the street always go a little faster than traffic so you don't count on cars seeing you. I know in my truck a car can disappear in my blind spots. A motorcycle is harder to see so always be aware of blind spots and stay out of them. Pay attention to cracks and gravel.
