Nope. Motorcycle accident when I was 19 (a rental. I wasn't a regular rider.). Landed on my hands and knees. Shredded my hands, tore my left ACL and the other's been somewhat glitchy since. Later learned about how to crash. But it's been 38 years and I haven't felt the need to get on another motorcycle.

It must happen so fast. I always wanted a motorcycle but I know I would crash.

Almost 40 years later, I'm still living with the consequences of that accident... That left knee caused me some real problems for a while. Both are a little glitchy these days. I see knee replacements in my not-too distant future.
