Re: selling up
 

does this mean i'll finally get those muffs you promised me. ;)



Only joking mate. sorry to hear this, but you have to do what is right for you and your family. Also it nt as if you are saying you will never ride again, just that it does not feel right for you right now.
ANyway you will always be welcome here and at mine if the cage ever manages north of the border.

Pffff just woke you with a phone call Dave, sorry about that.

Can't belive i'm reading this post... hopefully you'll go through winter without a ride, come next year you might get back in the jist.

I almost gave up about 3 months ago after coming round the mountain into that crash where the fella was lying dead in the middle of the road. And 30 minutes later i was a matter of inches from a full head on because of a muppet pulling out on me. ( i made a post somewhere).

But i regained the bug, not been enjoying my riding either much of lately bike feels all wrong, and after the recent tradgedy not really used the bike. But hopefully after a long boring winter i might cya out there again.

I'l call ya when your not trying to sleep.

Re: selling up
 

It´s a bit like hotel california here ;)

As others have said, give it time, perhaps even sit this winter out and keep the bike until spring. If you still feel the same way sell it then when you can get a bit of extra cash for it.

Never say never, a bit of time and dust of recent events may put things differently in your own mind.

Re: selling up
 

Hes not turned ghey, hes just giving up bikes for a bit.











Take some time out mate, I know how it feels and have been there myself.
As others have said, take some time out, think about it and if it feels right later on, give it another go.

We will still be here mate ;)

Re: selling up
 

+1, would it be any better on a different bike dave, ie one without problems that would make anybody nervouse riding it, remember what i said after i had taken yours around the block, more scary than an R1 not that i had ever ridden an R1, it did not inspire confidence. in other words the gay bike (pink handlebars) was a death trap :D, and you took all the parts of that to put on your pointy, maybe get a go on some one elses to see if you still feel the same, if you do fairy nuff, you will come back to biking at some point, once a biker allways a biker, see you soon, andy.

Re: selling up
 

sorry to read that but as others have said, it might be a timing thing rather than permanant but you gotta do what you feel is right, i know atm i'm a bit nervous about getting on my bike again but i'm hoping once i'm on it'll go but if it doesn't, i can see your point, it wouldn't be as enjoyable as it was.

Re: selling up
 

Good luck with the cage and hope you re-find the bug one day

Re: selling up
 

You great big, lanky wooly wooftah! :p

Seriously though, if your mindset isn't right when you're on a bike you shouldn't be on a bike, so at the moment you are making the right decision. Things change, so who knows how you will feel further down the line.

Re: selling up
 

You must do what you feel is right for you.

either you like it and its a joy, or as you say " A Mission"

what ever you decide, I'm sure it will be the correct decision.
