Default Hands up, who's thought about selling their bike lately?

Haven't had chance to ride my bike properly for about 6-7 weeks now and thoughts of selling the thing have started popping up more often. This time last year I managed to get out for a proper decent ride atleast once every 7-10 days, but this year due to work or severe weather, I've not been out once. I've started the bike up for 20 mins about once a week to make sure the oil is circulated properly and to give the battery a tickle but that's all.

I've almost started to resent the bloody thing, thinking how much a waste of space it is and how someone else could probably get better use out of it. But then I think about how the weather will be better soon, or that in the summer I'll wonder what to do with myself...

I've stopped posting on here like I used to, never mind visiting once or twice a day to see what everyone's upto. Having said that, I've started a kitcar project today (which I've wanted to start for about 18months).

This could well be one of the reasons for completely losing interest in riding but, who else has thought about selling their bike lately? Either through lack of use or bad weather? Also, the house we moved into is on a culdesac which doesn't get any attention from the gritters = ice lingers on our street for upto a week after the rest of the local roads have thawed... Great for 180 handbrake turns to reverse into our driveway, but I'd hit the deck before I even left the drive if I tried to ride out of our street...
