Parents want me to sell my bike
I crashed in a race in May and injured my knee—ACL and meniscus tear. I had surgery in June and have been working on recovery and strengthening since. It’s been a journey with a lot of downs. Recently, my parents got into an accident, and I had to put my physio on hold for two months to take care of them. They’re healing now, but as we returned to the city, they asked me to sell my bike and give up racing. Hearing that broke a part of me. I understand their concern, I really do.
But I just can’t. I can’t let go of something I love so much. I want to keep pushing, keep doing crazy things—even after the accident. Sometimes I wonder if I’m stupid to keep chasing this, especially with how it’s cost me emotionally, mentally, and financially. I’m dealing with depression and anxiety, but I know it’ll pass. Motorcycles are a part of me, and I can’t picture my life without riding.
Am I crazy for still wanting this?
Have any of you had a life-changing injury but kept riding?
Tell me it’ll get better. (Just say yes)
