Get a 1 piece leather suit, so you're not scared of falling ,

Seriously though, just relax, take your time with it. I've been in that position too, I went down & broke my kneecap, and I was very concerned about getting on a bike again.

But at the same time i was thinking, this is a great excuse to go get a ninja 250 , so I got some leather pants, (I went down in textile) and got back up on the horse, 8500 kms later, I'm feeling very comfortable on it. It didn't start out that way though, when I was first on it, I was worried about going down, wouldn't take it on the highway, wouldn't go out when there was a lot of traffic. I eased my way back onto the bike, and I'm glad I did.
