I felt similar after collecting a sheep at 100 - 110 kph, writing off the bike, I was concussed and severely bruised all over but somehow no real injuries. The worst injury was to my confidence, I didn't ride at all for about 5 years. A mate talked me into getting on his spare bike one afteroon and we just went for a cruise out through the country side, needless to say a matter of days after that I was on a new bike and it was like I never stopped.
You will ride again, I swore I never would and now look at me :)

So I have a question for you. If you aren't doing what you love, are you really living?
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

In my humble opinion..... Use the insurance money to buy a trackbike, trailer and new leathers.... Commuting isnt that much fun anyway :)

Saki, I agree with you. It sounds like you are a very fearful and sensitive person, so It might just be best if you wrap yourself up in cotton wool and hide for the remainder of your life!

Grow some balls you softcock! I know people with more metal in there body than bones these days and they still Lurve riding!! :roll:
