Morning Bob, I know how you feel,
It's a matter of how much you enjoy riding ?,
I have only gone for just an Hydraulic Damper, It made a Huge difference,
A lot of later bikes need them , But the makers just don't bother,
I think All the Racers in I.O.M. use them ?.
A few times in my life, I have thought about giving it up,
A very bad road crash, In 1970, Not my or my bikes fault,
And a few T/Slappers, One of which threw me over the top,
But there is a Risk in everything.
You can get hurt driving a car or standing at a Bus Stop !.
So for me , I like riding Bikes, So be it !.
Good luck in what ever you want to do.
Cheers Bill.
