Good thread guys, and a subject I've been thinking about as I recover and consider getting back to riding following my crash last September. It is interesting, the idea of putting the bike on hold for the winter months, and anecdotal evidence would suggest that the crashes start going up from November onwards until late March. But is that because there are just more riders out there, or because there's a few who aren't match fit? I know I'm looking at treating myself as a returning rider on the road, but also, I've ridden a few times since the accident already, and it didn't feel too unnatural. I'd like to see any facts about crashing and returning after a layoff.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
