After getting rearended on my motorcycle by some half-blind old man in a Toyota truck this past Saturday afternoon I had what I assume some people call an 'intervention'.
I was sitting in the corner at a table having a :beer trying to make sense of what just happened and what I was gonna do about my poor bike. I was surrounded at this table by my Dad, my uncle, and my uncle's girlfriend. One by one and sometimes all at once they started telling me that I 'really need' to just get rid of the bike. "It's too dangerous riding in southern California", "Too many drivers don't pay attention around here", "Next time you might not walk away from it", "It's just a matter of time before something worse happens" .... blah, blah, blah!!!
They started making me feel like a drug addict with an addiction that was sure to kill me some day. I will admit I'm a sportbike addict with an addiction to adrenaline but I don't have a deathwish. Needless to say I'm not quite ready to kick 'my addiction' just yet.
Anybody else have an 'intervention' at some point or another, before or after getting the bike?
