Hmmm, maybe it is time to trade the bike in on a cage with 4 wheels?
I made a mistake last fall, since I had the shekels my wife left me I 
bought a moped, 150cc. Two trips around the long block of my 
neighborhood convinced me my balance was not up to a 2 wheeler anymore, 
despite my having nearly a million miles on 2 wheels in my history with 
two mild cases of road rash. I'm not as steady at 88 as I was at 40.

So heal up soon.
