with the winter layoff for me here in teh midwest I have had a lot of time to read posts and not ride. I have read many that have dealt with people crashing and dying.
this has made me think and also worry that I could be next! At the end of the riding season for me last year, I was in a group of people that went out riding and hit some deer. wasnt me but real close calls.
this past weekend I went out riding and got smoked by the guy I was riding with. It would of happened anyway but, I just wasnt riding as hard as I used to last year. I am scared to push the limits. I do not want to crash and wreck my bike and or die.
granted I was still going fast just not what I used to do, I was letting up at some points and only going real fast down the straights.
I do not know how to jump this hurdle. although by the end of the day riding I was getting into it more. I am wondering if maybe it is just the first ride of the year jitters. most likely, as can be attested to how i loosened up by the end of the ride a little.
but it still cannot take away the mental block of fear. does anyone have any good ideas on this and have any of you ever felt like this.
