Understand and think you have a ginormous gaping vagina... Given your history, I'm betting you'll be back on two... prolly in the dirt, but whatever... bikes is bikes... you can't live without them... I promise.

life without a bike isnt living, its merely existing with no purpose. I could NOT live without a motorcycle, I just couldnt do it. I'd literally lose my mind and die.

you lost me.

korea's got you all fucked up lol ya typo havin mofo

rider-
seriously tho, track days, trail riding-way less chances of some outside source(cager, gravel, oil in the road, deer) of taking you out, and you still get your bike fix.

ive been at the point were you're at, and the best advice i can say is go thru with it and give it up. wait (if you can) 6months to a year and rent or demo a bike and see if you really do miss it. chances are, after the first 5 rusty minutes, you will notice that you miss it way more than you were aware of. then, the next day, after all the initial excitement has worn off, but the feeling remains, you can make a gd decision on whether you truly feel its best to give it up. maybe it is, maybe it isnt

you say that cuz you're a rider. i got friends that are hardcore rock climbers, to them, really living is hangin off the side off a mountain. know what i mean? me personally, im not a rider. i love it, and the only days i dont ride even alil are the days i dont bother coming out the house lol-but im a racer. thats when I feel im really living, at the track. i'd sell my streetbike if i for some reason could only have one bike.


and anyway, i ended with him being able to make the best decision. guessing he's a husband, a father, uncle, etc. maybe he's decided that he not ok with what the rest of his family would be put thru, and what he would be missing out on(kids growin up, grand kids, etc) if on the unlikely chance that something fatal happened. so he's sacrificing his own enjoyment for them. thats pretty fuckin noble. i'll never stop racing, aslong as i can afford it, but i'll probably scale back my street riding for a few years (2-4) once im married and the wife gets knocked up. i'd hate for my kid to grow up without atleast a memory of me because some dumb bitch took me out as she was textin her bff ya know?



but back to the topic question- 2002 busa
