I have tried looking and admiring. But I just keep getting pulled back into the road. Maybe I should get a touring bike or DS to slow me down a bit. I still hanker for a GS800...

Honestly... I think about everything in life. I pray. I jam to my music... I listen to the motor, look at the great country side I'm riding thru

I'm usually singing, or humming, just making some noise to myself in my helmet. But it's all good, because I know that nobody can hear my horrid voice through my helmet and over the bike. I've caught myself thinking "it's amazing how wonderful cam gears sound." And then I find someplace out in the middle of nowhere and I pull over and shut it down and sit in the grass and do not much but enjoy the sun and the quiet and friends.

But I haven't been able to ride in over a year and a half, so I'm itching to ride again. I've already gotten over the withdrawals, so it's time to ride again.
