I used to ride motorcycles and race occasionally. But I was slow and tended to crash on the track, last time out I broke some ribs and had a mild concussion, so I gave up racing. Then, i got hit head on by a hit and run SUV, so I don't ride on the street anymore either.
And riding in Miami FL is boring. Dead flat, no twisties, crazy drivers. If I lived somewhere like the San Fran Bay area I would probably get a bike, but not here in FL.
I still have the Ducati 750 F1 that I raced and crashed. Its actually a very rare and valuable bike but since the crash on the road, it has a certificate of destruction title, so I'm just going to sell it as a restoration project or a race bike. Incidentally, the 750 F1 is very competitive in a couple of CCS categories.
