Yeah, I know the statistics. My crash I spoke about was off road, on private farmland, riding my enduro bike. I do ride on road, as well as on closed circuits when I can, but two wheels is no longer my only form of transport. I used to do over 100,000 km a year on road, on various motorcycles. Now it’s closer to 15,000.

I understand the risks. I also know what it does for me and my mental health.

I’ll never give it up. Well, unless I’m a danger to others.
