[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 43619, member: 563"] Well its been at or about 6 weeks since I wrecked my bike. I went out this last Sunday with my brother and mine and his kids for a "family" ride. We only went to just a local riding area that had some short trails for the kids to putz around with the ATV's and mini bikes. My RM still performs as good now as it did before I crashed so thats a good thing. However....... My brother who has been off his bike for a year since his deployment to Afghanistan was riding like he'd never been off the bike at all. I found myself not nearly as confident as I was before my crash. And Ive reverted back to some really bad habits that newbie desert riders encounter. My brother and I did go on a short ride while the kids ate lunch. Nothing I havent done before but it was sorta rocky. I found myself looking at the LARGE rocks and almost hitting them instead of looking where I wanted to go to avoid them. Its amazing how much you can loose when your off the bike for a while. Also this ride was the first time using my new EVS RC Evolution neck brace. It fits good I think but is going to take some getting used to. I figure a couple more rides and I probably wont know its there. But Im going to blame my distraction of the neck brace on my poor riding skills for that day. Its my story and Im sticking to it. I also dont think Im totally healed from my crash either. Monday my neck was pretty stiff and still is a little bit today. Guess I need to ride more to strengthen up those mucsles. No video was taken as I dont have any curved surface mounts but they are on my wish list to order when I get paid. So maybe next time. [/QUOTE]
