Really sorry to hear this KJ.

What I'm going to say next isn't going to win me any popularity contests in EAR though.

My conscience would not let me keep the bike, unless there was an agreed re-payment scheme put in place. Jeff, of course may take the stand that it was a gift, albeit a generous one and not accept it back anyway.

My other point is, that can you really afford to run it? I'm guessing Jeff chipped in occasionally. Obviously your kids have top priority and they won't get any cheaper unfortunately.

I know it's not the same, but can you not find somebody to take you out as pillion? Keeps you in the game and you can still practise a lot of your riding skills so that when a bike becomes a more viable option, you'll soon be up to speed.

Just my thoughts on your situation as I've read on here, so have made assumptions. Don't mean to offend or upset you, KJ.
