Yeap.. it's the rider, not the bike!!!Lol.. your story reminds me of one my Dad tells me often when we start talking dirt bikes.
...The went and parked, loaded up and went home. Said that he only rode for fun after that. Very humbling experience.
I didn't give up though.. went to race school, did A LOT of track days (my life ins. barred me from actually racing.. I should have told them to pound sand). Sold my last 2 track bikes to move to TX, but I still have 3 of my street bikes. One is being put back together after getting totaled out..
