I owned and rode a BMW R90/6 for a bit over eight years, during which I rode it for about 165,000 miles (It was my only vehicle, first living in Florida, then in California).
I was contemplating buying another bike when I met my wife...and one promise she insisted upon was that my biking days were over at that point. As a physician here in Ukraine, she had worked in enough emergency rooms to have seen various people who had been mangled in bike wrecks.
It was a concession I was willing to make, but not particularly happy about a the time. Even today, I wouldn't mind getting a scooter or a small bike had I not made such a commitment.
