You should be proud Tim, not only on the purchase of a fine bike, but on your honest appraisal of both your accident, and more importantly, your riding attitude.
Good on you.
If more people were this honest with themselves it would lead to less 'over-powered/under-skilled' accidents - and cheaper insurance in the long run (perhaps).
All we need now if for the salt to be cleared of the roads and a bit of warm sunshine.
