UPDATE:
HE'S BAAAACK! My riding buddy JNOR that is. (Read 1st post in thread to understand)
Got back in to it innocently enough. He was helping a buddy pick up a car that his buddy bought and noticed a motorcycle front wheel in the garage. Asked the guy what kind of bike he had. Guys says Yamaha, want to buy it? Jnor walked over to look at it. It was a 2002? Yamaha FZ-1, with light damage from a low side. How much? $100.00. Yea I want it! LOL. Figured his wife who didn't want him to ride anymore was going to give him holy he**, but figured if he did have to sell it, he could at least make some coin. She did give him some grief, quite a bit for awhile, but eventually gave in so he gets to keep it.
So he bought it, took it home, fired right up, ran fine. Replaced the damaged stuff with parts off ebay for a few hundred bucks and he was back in the motorcycle riding business. I gave him some of his own gear back that he had given me when he quit..couple of jackets, some gloves, a tail pack. He had not gotten rid of his helmet yet., and picked up some riding pants on ADV rider cheap.
So today we met for lunch so he could show it to me.

He texted me after he got home and said he forgot how much fun riding a motorcycle was.
Not holding my breath that this will last, but for now HE'S BAAAACK!" lol
