Do you guys feel you need to consciously deny the risk in order to ride?

On the track, im sorta upset i havent crashed yet. It means im being overly conservative to a degree. Im sure a lot of you wont agree with my mindset but it works for me.
Jeepers creepers guys, lighten up already. OK all you maudlin snowflkes listen up. 75% of all U.S. deaths are caused by:

- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Chronic lower respiratory disease
- Accidents 5.2%
- Alzheimer's disease
- Diabetes
- Influenza and pneumonia
- Kidney disease
- Suicide

If you sit around wringing your hands about your demise there will be little time left for living. Nobody gets off this blue marble alive.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

Besides, motorcycling is the most fun you can have with you clothes on.
