I'm speaking for myself here and I will be honest...As we age I'm 66 now, things start to change, we have no control over this, you just have to learn to listen to your own body, and your Dr. We start to lose our balance, our eyesight worsens, our judgement gets a little out of wack.  Sometimes the medications we are on has a lot to do with this, I myself had to park my scooter for a while due to dizzy spells that were caused by some meds I am on, I just didn't feel right and felt I was in danger of hurting myself or someone else.  I parked it for over a year and now I am doing much better and feel I can ride safe again.  My point here for all YOU big tough guys...LISTEN to your bodys, if you don't feel right, don't get on that bike...Tom, I hope you feel better real soon.

Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting Holy Chit......... What a Ride!

Not judging, just curious, did you wear a helmet when you hit the street?

sorry to hear about the drop, but how's the bike
Sorry about what happened but the second part of this response is usually what most of us ask first before we think about what may have happened to us. :huepfenlol2:

I hope you are doing better. I had a similar deal when I went down on my bike. I thought I was fine other than some back pain. They had me on the ambulance and I was arguing about being fine. Well my daughter had shown up by now. I was not far from their place. She gave me what for and insisted I go in and be checked. Then the EMS feller told me of a rider he had on the ambulance a bit back. The guy seemed fine and insisted he go home. They finally let him get out and go. Within a half hour he was dead. Apparently a blood vessel in his brain had broke in the accident. Not a serious mark on the guy. His helmet had a slight ding on it and scrapes similar to mine. That story scared me a bit so I went for the ride. They did all kinds of scans mri and stuff. Turned out I had two cracked discs in my back. Would the ride have saved the other guy? They could not possibly predict this but told me he might have at least had a chance if he were at the hospital.
