Best of luck, I took a year out recently and came back as it's just in your blood. Yes there are dangers but you have to accept it and move on. At some point like you say it's time to hang up the helmet, no shame in it at all.

I try to use all three of my modes of transport to suit my situation, some days I drive to work, some times I ride my XTX, other times I cycle. I like the variation. In reality the car is the ideal transport as I have no clobber to wear, if it rains I turn the wipers on! But it's just not as thrilling even if it's a fiat Panda! LOL!
