WTF
situations...
April
4th... after riding for only 5 days I got in a motorcycle
accident again – in Mississippi.
Unbelievable,
disappointing, ridiculous...
It
was a hard rainy day... and idiot pulls out right in front of us and
make a mess of our journey. I was riding behind Michael, he had to
break hard – and I did too – but I hit the back of Michael's
motorcycle and I slip and fall off the bike.
Physically
I was fine this time (only some bruises on my right arm) but mentally
I have shut down!! I am very shocked, sad, and mortified. I got in
two fucking accidents in less than 9 months!!
(http://mikesworldtour.blogspot.com/ First Accident in AK blog) I can not believe this
– this is the worst situation!!! How can I keep motivated for ADV
motorcycle riding after this has happened? I don’t think it is for
me!!
I
am completely scared to ride a motorcycle anymore. I need a long
break and just keep away from two wheels for a while.
Michael and I have decided to back to San Diego. We put everything in aU-HAUL and drive from Mississippi to San Diego in 4 days. We arrivedin San Diego last Thursday. As soon as I arrive in San Diego countythe 'happy tears' begin. I met my ex-roommates (my San Diego family)and as we exchange hugs and kisses I could not stop crying. I missedSan Diego life very, very much. Now I know, a calm and quite life iswhat I need now.
Well,unfortunately, my journey is 'on-hold' again. I am not even sure if I want to continue or not.
Anyways,I need a break!!! Michael and I are going back to my home country –Japan – for 2 months. I need to clear my mind, see my family,friends and enjoy my country for a time!
I will keep updating my Facebook but no more motorcycle stuff anymore. If you're a rider and you don't wish to keep me as your friend, I completely understand; and, I wish you the best in your travels –please ride safe as always!
This is the way it is... it is a bitter end, but I need to live my life with my lovely husband safely! No more 'risky' lifestyle.Because I still can live our dream... I will see you on the road someday, somehow!
