Funny, I'm the only yes!  Are you breathing?  Yes?  Time to start racing again then!  Wish I'd never stopped, but if I'm super lucky I may start racing street motorbikes within the next couple years.

Not anymore!! :hahaha:

You just need to ask yourself a simple question.  "How important is it to you?"   If its worth getting hurt, go for it :thumbs:  If we all spent our lives living safely, and not taking risks, then we wouldn't have sports bloopers!!! WE need those!!

You got that right jason :thumbs:  The ladies I used to work with would always say "you're gonna kill yourself if you keep racing!".  I'd just say that I could live my life in submission, always hiding from danger/fun, and die cause I slipped gettin into the shower and cracked my skull.  I'd rather die doin something bitchin than from some utterly random every day mishap, or at the hand of some utterly irresponsable driver :maddest:

I figure if I'm going to die, I at least want to die
a) doing something I love
b) doing my future job (firefighter)
c) doing something that starts with "Hey ya'll, watch this!"
