Figure on the track at least it is up to me to do the wrecking.

crashing is part of riding....take a break (not literally) just chill out, heal up,and go crazy when your body is ready...and when your not second guessing yourself.

ride another day but be patient. A cruiser does sound like a good idea though for right now. Big, loud and everyone sees them. No drivers have respect for a sportbike rider these days. I may look in all directions, and so will everyone on this forum when changing lanes but 99% of Floridas population (85 and up) wont. Be careful. I would go back on, but in a realistic time frame. Give pt some more time, get as 100% as possible then go back on. If you love it that much you should, and hopefully the family will understand.

Best of luck to you.

Be safe, get well, and let's go blow some bikes up at the track
