RE: May have some parts going for sale so...
Thats kinda my other thought right now, is get a lot bike. I could turn mine into one, but i dont know if i have the heart. I think i would rather sell it and find something different.

RE: May have some parts going for sale so...
ahh i understand what you mean. It is a very dangerous hobby and im right there with you on just cruising around, its boring. But it is always good to keep family and friends in mind, specially since it sounds like you might be having a new addition to the family soon? It would still be cool to have a lot bike for low speed stunts, just to screw around on when you get the itch.

1st of all. I am sorry for your loss Tk. Having to hear of riders going down is one thing. To actually witness the event is another. It is a life changing experience. If you are thinking of tAking on Fatherhood. God help you......I have a 9yr old and a 22 month. They are the best things in my life. I would die without them. Love them more than life itself. I commend you on trying to be a responsible parent and remove yourself from harms way. Having the motorcycle as well as children has an effect that I didnt see coming. It will make you a more responsible rider. I have immediate flashbacks of my loving family everytime I run hot into a corner and feel a little more pressure on my kneepucks than should be there.......TK. You are a perfect Track day Candidate. Take the 954 out on any track day......I will put $$$ on one thing....You will be hooked! No cars. No lights. Just you and your machine. With any luck a pit crew that consists of your loving woman and your little ones! Think about it. You get to keep the scooter. Twist the throttle as hard as you want. No looking over your shoulder for red & Blue. Just you, the 954 and a serious hard on for a few laps........

Sorry to hear man.
My thoughts exactly. Ive always said after I start a family I will be doing more trackdays and less street riding.

RE: May have some parts going for sale so...
TK I think you would really regret getting rid of that bike. You got a lot of money into your machine. I'd consider taking it to road america as much as possible. With all the money you would save paying tickets riding on the street, you could afford to do some track days. I know this sounds stupid, but I always tell people that the only way I will stop riding is if it kills me. Not that I want this to happen to me. I just could not give up this sport that I have so much passion for. It's like a cyclical necessity in my life. I can go without riding for a couple of days and after that I get the itch. Just think about it man. If your like me, you'd be dying when summer comes around and your the only one without a bike.

Actually i have a spotless record
Got a dozen or so warnings in the last couple years, but never a ticket. I dont know about the rest of it, i dont ride nearly as much as i used to. I still go alot though i guess, and with gas the way it is and not getting better, i dunno. The wife says do what i want, so no help their, but i guess now that i have had a few days i am leaning towards keeping. I think i just got freaked out, and over reacted. Will see after the wake and funeral tonite and tomorrow.
