Getting T-Boned on my motorcycle when I was 62 made me real old, real fast because my mobility has been so reduced
Don't give up, even if it absolutely fucking sucks. The people who give up never get it back. If you were wild enough to ride a motorcycle, you're wild enough to invest into yourself. Because it takes guts to buy in to yourself. It's a lot easier to just fade. I lost my mobility for a while and I fucking gave up. It made me feel like shit, and I literally spent weeks just laying in bed not really crying but feeling absolutely morose and like I had been cheated of the joy of the rest of my life. And it was fucking brutal. But I am so much more mobile and functional now than I was even a year ago and it takes so much time, effort, pain and realistic-hope (as in you can be optimistic, but also be kind to yourself and be a realist about where you are and where you're trying to go and you'll be a lot happier about all the small victories along the way). You might not even realize at some point how much your regained but I hope to god you find what you need and get back to some semblance of happiness.
As for motorcycles, I am not sure I would ride them anymore nowadays because it seems like people are so brain-dead when they drive (Is it phones?) that they intentionally seem to go for folks. But safe healing, because you deserve it and even if you don't get where you want to - don't sell yourself short. Because that's when stuff starts to fall apart bit by bit and I am sure you've still got more to live/give =)!
