I have definitely opted to take the cage over the moto because I didn’t feel I would enjoy my ride due to being spooked. Better to take a break than force myself to ride and not enjoy it. I know my brother does the same thing. He’s had quite a few scares over the last couple of weeks, fishtailing due to slamming on breaks on the highway for one situation or another and a pipe falling off a truck and heading straight for him, that shit will scare you, and it should. I wasn’t on my moto but a front wheel fell off an on coming SUV and headed straight for me, that spooked me enough for a couple of days that I didn’t ride my moto and I wasn’t even on my moto at the time of the incident! So, take a break, nothing to be ashamed of.
All I see now are HAZARDS, EVERYWHERE.
OH and my husband doesn’t ride because in college he crashed, got real bad road rash and when he took it out after that he was scared all the time so he didn’t enjoy it anymore and he got rid of his bike and he has no desire to ride a motorcycle.
So, there you go.
