I fell off my first Honda 50 at age 5
smashed my fingers on trees from yz & gt 80's by 12
Had street 750's and a DR 350 as an adult in both Europe (Navy) and NJ
Moved to Florida, and sold my bike after driving here for a few weeks... decided i would rather live than ride and die with all the horrible drivers here in the Tampa area (either blue hairs who shouldn't be on the road anymore, or young punks in their modified Hondas and Mazdas driving like idiots).
That's when i bought my first boat... a Hobie16
It's like I have a twin. I was a crazed cafe racer for years. I saw two really bad crashes within two weeks literally right in front of me. I sold my bike and got a Hobie 16. I never looked back.
