My heart is trying to kill me.
 

EVERY spring I get motorcycle fever and EVERY time my brain talks me out of it. This has gone on since I sold my first and last bike decades ago.

But now that I'm a teetotaler my brain doesn't have the easy out reasoning that previously trumped emotion.

It appears I can get a really nice midsized Japanese bike for a couple grand.

I've always been something of a natural on 2 wheels (thanks mom and dad) so experience is not a dealbreaker. Any thoughts? All appreciated.

Every spring I want to trade in my 15 YO Tahoe for something new too. I practically invent problems with it. By July it usually passes and I wonder what I was thinking....

;) Give it up ya old fart. Some older fart than you will just pull a left in front of you and you'll end up as highway pizza. I miss my old KZ650 too but I ain't getting back in the saddle. No fuckin' way. Too many idjits on the road these days.

Every 13th I make the payment on the Mighty Bluestreak and think, "This thing is killing me, I really need to get rid of it."

But, there she sits, Pete. Every time I drop the hammer and feel that massive rush of power, my heart skips a beat......................

If you can muster up the 2gs, go get that bike. You only live once.

:D

The angel of Bob on one shoulder, the devil of Dave on the other! What a picture lol.

My problem? is that I live on the edge of a national forest and know all the backroads I can putter down. I also know a handful of utility access roads. Also the SO is actually on board with it. See heart talking fast. I know how thick 4 wheel drivers can be.

Mr Pots I get that often and currently am fighting selling my little truck, even though I know I shouldn't! But I could get something else :)

Decide for yourself if your skill at riding is enough to overcome the idiocy we see from other motorists. You're not planning on texting while riding are you? :eek:

You would get a helluva lot better mileage than the land yachts you are so find of.

I hate to break it ya Pete but you're old and yer bones are brittle. :D Save yer pennies and get a Cobra kit car.

Bob..............

........an "angel"?:confused:

It's like falling down the rabbit hole Dave :D

D you're an enabler! One of my arguments is that I can save $5+ every time I drive it to work (backroads), and in northeastern Ohio that should add up to at least $10 a year.

lmao !!
