Just give it a try, you'll either hate it and decide that you've definitely had enough, or hopefully, love it and wonder how you ever managed without it this long!!

I really hope it falls into place for you - you were one of the first org'ers i ever met, at the AR, the week i passed my test

Large slice of lethargy? Got your 'old' bike out for a run last week. Had forgotten how nice it was

Once I get out of this stupid cast I know I've got long slow rehab and I'll need to get my confidence and strength back. I was hoping you might be up for a few nice steady ride outs to get me back into it as you are just up the A12. And we've got to go to Sutton Hoo. So you can't go giving up.

The sun shone on my face for a moment today. Had a fleeting thought of putting the key in the bike to see if he would start. But then realised that if he did I couldn't go anywhere cos of no MOT or tax so even if it did start it would drain the last ounce of juice away.

Anyone seen the forecast for next saturday?
I'm sure there was a bike on several parts of Britain showing excellent biking weather followed by some very good biking weather, with intermittently fabulous biking weather.

Get the MOT and Tax, you'll need that to sell the machine anyway; then when an opportunity presents you can take to the open road. If you still feel the same way after that then the bike is in the best position to sell it.

I bet that once you are on the road again you will rediscover your MOJO

well Messie if you do find your mojo, cut a slice off for me. Ive used the raptor 3 times in last 3 years. If I dont get out on it this summer, Im going to sell. Just got no time, if I have time there is no babysitter, if I have time and baby sitter I have no inclination
