change of pace
I am sure you are now well aware of this popular saying
"Its not a matter of if you will go down; its a matter of how hard you will go down"
For me it was a number of years ago, that I messed up my Suz 600 and crushed four vertebrates in my back
Traction and having to ware a back brace kept me off a bike for many months and ultimately I did not ride again for a number of years.
But, the bug to feel the wind in my face finally won out, and I purchased another bike.
This time instead of a sport bike, I purchased a Harley Softtail Heritage classic.
While any bike is just as likely to go down as the next, I feel less likely to speed on this bike, (its slow anyway) and instead I am happy with enjoying the ride. If you no longer feel the "need for speed", you might consider buying a cruiser.
Like kowalke67 said, it sounds like you had some pretty good body gear. What did you have on?
