Just a nice weekend ride now and then so neither the bike nor I get rusty. I've taken it to work like twice. Other than that, it's track use.
I figure all I can do is limit my exposure as I know that I can't be 100% attentive all the time and avoid anything that comes at me, that's just not realistic. And learning from you guys, and plenty of others, it's clearly inevitable with enough street miles, and then the injury level is just luck.
So. Really sorry about your bike man, that had to be horribly frustrating at best. I hate to see a hardcore rider like yourself give up riding all the time, but on the other hand, I think it'd be nicer to have you alive and on track with me. :thumbup:
