Yea, regaining confidence is a challenge. I had a bad accident in 97',
hit an Armco guard rail (compound fracture to Tibia) then flew over
the rail and fell 225 ft. (free fall) to a boulder strewn creek below.
Very lucky to have survived. After seven operations, a two year
recovery and over $190,000 in medical bills, I was
back riding but not riding well at all. (motorcycle riding can be dangerous
and yes, I know several good orthopedic doc's)
