Default Help me find my bike mojo

I seem to have lost it. I can't find the desire to get up off my backside and sort the bike out and ride it.

It hasn't had the cover off since early November last year. Tax and MOT has run out and it probably won't even start now.

But I can't find the urge to get it on any more


Is this the end of the road for me as a biker? Will my mojo come back?

What's happening?

Messie, your mojo is the same place as mine, wherever the flippin sun is hiding.

It came out last weekend for the EAR rideout, but now I've lost it again.

At the mo, I don't want to step outside cos of the cold and dampness in the East. Plus the never ending days of grey

Except for last Sunday (even then it was majorly cold), its been like this for weeks

If I haven't ridden for a while, sometimes I get complacent. It's easier to take the car. I find I have push myself to get back into the routine of kitting up and going out on the bike, but when I do, it reminds me how much I enjoy it.

So my advice is, get it fixed and get out there. Push yourself to do it and you'll find it's worthwhile.

If you do that and find you don't enjoy it, then you can give it up with a clear conscience. Bet you won't though
