Hi all,

Been a while since I posted or even visited. I'm needing a little advice and was hoping BF could help me out.

In May, I had a turbo dismount, earth slide followed by an abrupt stop. In other words, I crashed. I wasn't really hurt. It took a few weeks, but bruises and major road rash healed fine. However, what happened next has me a little baffled in how to handle it. I noticed after I healed up that I rode less and less. I've not been on the bike except for about once a week in the past month.

I kept telling myself that I just didn't want to ride and so, I wouldn't. What I've come to understand is that really, I'm nervous. I worry about crashing and so I'm not riding. I know I need to get back on the horse so thus I'm here asking for advice. Anyone else go through this?

I tell myself I'm not a wuss. I used to skydive and I took a couple major hits doing that. I always got back up and jumped again. 200 jumps under my belt and the only reason I quit was I got married.

Anyway, go ahead and call me a girlie man...I expected it when I posted. I'm hoping between the snide remarks that I might find some bits of wisdom.

Regards!
