Concur. I have become more risk averse since getting married. But motorcycling gives me so much pleasure, that I'd just about rather die than live without a bike. I was bikeless for 11 days until just getting my new one last weekend. It was a tough 11 days and I so hated getting into my 330i to go to the grocery store or gym.
