"Good use of descriptives" as an old English teacher used to say. I still feel a rush of adrenaline at the start of every ride when I first put my feet up onto the pegs. Sometimes it only lasts to the bottom of my driveway; sometimes it lasts for a mile or more. I've only been riding for two and a half years and expect to continue to get that adrenaline rush for some time to come. Maybe that's why I keep riding - ! I've dropped both of my bikes, but never at speeds over about 5-10 mph. It's stories like yours that keep me wearing leather and full face helmets even on hot days. Take care & ride safe!
