Thank you, Frank. Very relevant - i suppose my story inspired you a little to your great "analyze"/messsage. I don't think i have as much experience as you - but i agree very much in your comment. My accident gave me a reminder, that i will not forget. So i concentrate on driving - and that it is a bike i'm driving. The traffic-situations have i much experience to predict (primarily as a car-driver for 34 years). My accident didn't happen in a situation with other involved - it was my own fault (dirt/sand on the road from the winter combined with too much back brake). I'm aware that it could happen again. But i'm not scared. "Speed is in my blood" (and i'm aware of that) - that is the reason, amongst others, that i bought the Savage. Because real speed is not what the Savage appeals to. And i enjoy riding her - despite the fact, that it could happen again. Life is so, anyway.
