I used to have a Ninja 250 myself... great bike...easy to work on and still was very peppy. The first day I had it I took it to about a 120 or so... and I looked down on the ground and thought it would really suck if I went down on that.. I never sped after that.
I was hit on Rt 4 in NJ after riding for 80miles without incident. I never rode after that.
I like riding.. after I got hit in NJ my grandfather made me promise to not ever ride during the last years he's on the planet. My wife is taking that opinion to... so I said I need to have a roadster.
The difference between a car and a motorcycle.. is that a motorcyclist experiences the road and it's surroundings... the car observses it.
recently a friend was hit on his Fatboy... he was going straight and someone took a left turn in front of him. He's still going to ride.
It's not about how crazy you are... but moreso the other drivers on the road.
