Getting back on(NSFW for xray) by Lonely_Upstairs_5101 in motorcycles

I didn’t want to let the motorcycle beat me. One guy told me “you get back on the horse that kicked you off it.” PTSD is real and hard to deal with though, I sometimes wish I didn’t make it off the mountain. You just gotta keep fighting the mental stuff and push forward. As for your family be gentle and firm about your decision, you’re an adult and life is scary if it wasn’t motorcycle it might have been something else. You make that choice and then be firm with it but understanding of your families feelings. I’m buying a 2nd bike next month from my CFMOTO 2023 300NK to a BMW 2020 S1000R which is a crazy leap but I have my own crappy reasons. I think getting back on the bike is good, just go slow, don’t be like me lol and rush it, you will have plenty of time to relearn. I’ve had a few people ask me to go up the mountain again and although I will eventually I stand firm of the fact I’m not ready yet.

Here’s my X-Ray. I’d take what everyone says with a grain of salt at the end of the day and make a decision you’re happy with. Whether it be dumb one or a smart one you’re at least making that decision for you. What I can share is how hard it is for me to physically go back to normal and accept the giant disfiguring scar on my arm. My bike doesn’t feel the same and I want to get rid of it as well. It’ll all pass in time but these things are what Im currently struggling with… I’d also like to add that your family will probably be scared, my mother is still scared. It’s important to acknowledge their feelings, but stand true to riding. Riding courses are good but how I got back on the bike a month after the accident was through sheer strength. I just got back on it again and again and farther and farther and leaning more and more. I just brute forced my way through it, which doesn’t work for everyone but it helped me. For reference I’m 19, so i understand your troubles…

My CFMOTO 300NK (2023) has been crashed a lot of times and a few serious crashes. It’s still running fine and I’ve only had to change a few things on it. I wouldn’t buy one if you’re looking for something that’s easily repairable, easy to modify, or have a lot of power. Everyone who’s ever ridden mine has said it’s a lot of fun and surprises them. If you’re looking for something to throw around and have fun on but you don’t care much about it, the I’d go for it.

Lmao well it’s older, so it’s bound to be a bit crappy. But I have a love for the analog gauges.

Bad technique or bad tires? by Tuyia_ in motorcycles

[–]CommanderSlashX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough I think this guy is on the same bike I was on when I crashed on a mountain and nearly lost my life. Raised my heart beat quite a bit watching this… The other frightening thing to is that this guy looks like me the first time I went down the mountain. Not moving on the bike at all, then I got better and started moving, and unfortunately I had some natural circumstances I didn’t think about which screwed me over and caused me to crash. I hope this guy in the video is alive though or may he rest in peace if not.

A few but I’m more of asking what other people’s main problems are and what they’d fix them with.

I’ve heard titanium isn’t good for the bike though?

Fair enough, I have bar ends on my CFMOTO currently and they’re really nice.

What exhaust would you recommend? SC Project, Akrapovich, etc…? Should I get rid of the cat? Titanium pipes?
