Matey I can FULLY relate to wanting to get back on your/a bike again--your mum sounds Very Cool
I had "The three Accidents" that had Always 'worried me',,
E.g.
1)-- someone going through a stop sign
, I was only doing 30-40kmh+I was young and fit, and I went 'Over the Top of the car',, not INTO it, I landed on the other side, on 'all four' i.e a crawling position--kneedless to say, I had fuckin sore knees, which took me about 4 yrs before I could kneel without it hurting
2)--I was doing a right turn(a left if you're in d US/Europe) from a main rd into a side street, had JUST let off the brakes (slowing from about 90-100kmh down to about 50-60kmh) and as I 'tossed my bike into the turn',,A Fuckwit,,in a V8 panel van, (with his mates 'pissing on' in the back of said van and his girl in the front) had decided to "play chasey with the bike" and just as I turned, he tried to OVERTAKE ME,,resulting in me getting the BIGGEST,HARDEST, Kick in the arse, I had EVER had.....I landed about 50mts PAST the street I was turning into
and although nothing was 'Broken' (bones etc) I was pretty battered up, and this was the Beginning of my Pain problems, leading to 1 back operation,and another coming soon.
3) An off duty cop did an Illegal U-turn in front of me-I had nowhere to go,but straight into the side of him! (AT 80-90KMH!) I landed on my head (so i was told,I had been knocked out by doing so I imagine) my helmet looked like a smashed eggshell but my head was fine--the rest of me was a bit sore--BOTH vehicles were "write offs"
These were the 3 scenarios I had ALWAYS been worried about--hitting cars at speed,
is, IMO, Very dangerous, and painful..
duh!
I still love bikes and still ride,,(BUT not in the City as a mode of transport), well, only to get to the country roads for a relaxing fang around the hills. coz there are Far Too Many FUCKWITS with cars, and IME,, they Are, The Main Problem!
Falling off, even at high speed isnt that bad--Its "stopping Quickly" via a Hard object,, that CAN REALLY CHANGE the ways your life was/is/will be!
As for the Latin, man, there are Enough 'synonyms' in Org.Chemistry to fuck with even the "smartest heads" !!! Faaark GAA has at least 4!! and I'm sure I've seen 5-6 for other chems--and then there's the EU,US and UK, Arabic and "Russian" etc 'variations!!
Shit, its enough to make one WANT to take drugs, and hope 'it all comes clean in the wash!
Cheers bro, Hyppy
P.s How 'restricted' is your movement, with those 'steel bars/bands' in your back?\
