Really considering givin up riding

[rboe]

Many many people give up motorcycles until the kids are in college (or just graduated). One common refrain I hear is "I never should have sold the bike" so one thing you may want to do, mothball the bike until you get back to riding so she is there when you decide to ride again. I'm pretty sure she'll be a classic collectors item by then.

I got into motorcycles for the transportation, stayed on them (with a 26 year break) for the entertainment and joy I get from riding. If you don't need the transportation and it's too stressful then it's probably not worth riding. At least for now. Only you can decide that though.
