I gave up riding motorcycles the next day.

I don't blame you. I have told my children to take care of their bodies and have a healthy lifestyle. But the older I get, the more I want from life. At 16 I was scared to skydive, but when I reach 60 (10 years hence)I will, God willing, do just that. The older I get, the more risks I feel allowed. I would rather die on my motorcycle than die of old age in a nursing home - if I have a choice. I don't have a deathwish, I have a lifewish - to live it fully.

Riding that bike you have a chance of ending your days in an assisted care facility drooling into your lap ~ not all the serious accidents end in death you know.

The follow up to that is:
You don't stop riding because you get old you get old because you stop riding.

Oh and motorcyclists sace money be not needing to see shrinks.
(fact-compared to the general population m/c riders are more grounded, and have less of a need for shrinks.)
