Thank you everyone, sincerely.
Yeah, the decision was hard, but function won over fashion in the end - as it applies to me. We only have so many riding years left.
RE RLETs: I was just kidding. No blame. The RLET jesting is healthy and fun. I would say it adds to the Forum's unique identity and charm.
RE NC750X: I think it makes an excellent "other" bike (I would say "second", but many Forum members already have multiple bikes). It is a reliable workhorse for very low coin. Cost of ownership is quite amazing. For me, it made no sense to keep the NC if riding the AT. The NC would become a "garage ornament" of some sort. Unfortunately, the AT takes up more space than usual, so a clear-out was required.
RE ST1300: On Monday I actually took a hard look at one, as well as a Gold Wing. I think I would have to give up the remaining amount of low speed agility I seek and the off road capability.
The AT Forum makes sense - yes. It is not close to the CB1100 Forum in terms of subject matter diversity, however, it appears somewhat young. One thing I have noticed was the influx of new AT owners. I think it is some sort of new wave of riders, that is, ADV riders in general.
