First ride since my off.
..and what a delight! Was only a 50mile round trip that I took as a very steady ride.
In some respect I think my little off has had a positive impact on my perception of everything else around me and all the other dangers when I am riding. I seemed alot more alert and aware than what I previously did. I think I had fallen into a false sense of security before and was riding for myself too much. Was a little shakey round corners but I guess this is to be expected. Also the lack of a right hand mirror is a very weird (not enjoyable) experience! All in all, good to be back on the road and be smiling again!

Re: First ride since my off.
I've had that feeling three times ... I think crashing is one of the fastest learning experiences! Made me a better rider!

I know this sounds a bit over the top but as they say, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
