I've kind of banned myself from motorcycles. I've had broken ribs, broken shoulder, wrists, leg, broken collarbone - and it was all from motocross or rugby. All of my injuries have come from outside of sailing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Eventually, I grew out of my interest in motorcycles because they're quite dangerous. I don't ride them anymore. But I have this history.
I have been off the motorcycles for about 20 years now, but that doesn't mean I can't still do it.
I know from sitting around with injuries how difficult life will be without racing and riding winners.
I know a little bit about motorcycles and motorcycle riding.
I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.
It's a lot harder to break bones in golf than motocross. But that made me fearless in a way.
I started sailing because I had to stop playing tennis so much, as I had bad knees.
I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.
I've had injuries in my life from things beyond my control: runaway horses, helicopters that decide to crash on mountaintops, boating accidents - things that were out of my hands.
I've been on and off motorbikes most of my life.
