My son has had a motorcycle accident in last november. He still suffers from the injuries (ankles, knees, shoulders, ellbows, broken collarbone, lost fingernail and more).

He is riding his repaired motorbike again, but carefully and with fear, he says.

I have not seen the accident, but I have seen his injuries, and I have seen his pain.

Last week I got my motorbike back from winter storage and I was so happy. I love to ride, and I make more miles than the average motorcycle riders - about 600 miles a week.

I just cannot enjoy riding this year. I ride, I love it, but before each turn, I think of my son's injuries.
Before he has had his accident, all I wanted was to ride my bike, at any time and at any weather.
Now, when the weather is fine, I think, I want to go riding, but will I come home alright? Will there be a pothole in a turn, which I don't see? Will there be oil on the road, or will a car driver not see me, like it often happens?

I know, this is by far not comparable to your experience, but your story made me think of it and showed me, what I haven't realized yet. Should I overcome my fear, which is sitting in my neck when I am riding, and which might cause an accident?

You can be proud of yourself JJ, that you have finaly been able to ride that cable car, and nothing happened. Now you have done it, you don't need to do it anymore, but you know you can, if you want to.

My father said a few weeks ago after a little heart attack: "When it's time for you, then it's time. If he wants to get you, then he will get you."

He did not want to get you ... whomever my father meant.

These are just the thoughts that went through my mind when I read your story, and I hope I could write it down fairly intelligibly, and I hope you don't mind me writing of some of my own problems.
Your photos are super JJ, as usual. !tip
