Erik quit racing after we got married, sold about everything but it was NOT because I told him to quit. He had quite a bit of debt from it and wanted to get out from under that. He started racing a few years later but did the endurance with a couple other guys to not rack up so much debt again.

Not sure what would stop either us from riding. I suppose injury would be one for me but like ebbs, unless put in the situation, it is hard to say.

Severe injury
Boredom
cost/debt

Even if I did stop, I would start again at some point.
I have stopped twice before, once for 7 years(die to accident/injury and cost), once for 1 year(due to boredom).

honestly... I think if I stop... I won't pick it back up... unless it's just being between bikes...

I've got an obsessive personality... so if I loose interest in something... rarely do I go back to it... I just move to something else...
