Fuck the people that might call you a "pussy". It's your life.

My pops has been in several accidents and keeps getting back. Yeah it's totally common to be nervous at first, but it's what he loves doing. My view on it is no one lives forever and i'm not going to stop doing what I enjoy or live in fear. When my time comes it comes. I know thats not the most common attitude but thats how it is for me.

Also you might want to start off riding with a larger group of friends at first that understand what your feeling. With the large group you'll be alot more noticible and your friends might be able to pick up on things your doing wrong subconciously.

Over all though, just take your time and do things at your own pace, when and if you're ready to get back on you will. Until then though, just enjoy life and the other things that make you happy.
