I can never immagine not using my bike FREQUENTLY, I just walked by it (it's parking place is in front of rents cages in driveway, no protection )and it's been a good week or so since I've ridden it seriously (nobody has gas) and I just carressed it on my way by it, longing to be on it again. I'm taking it out tomorrow, do or die, and hoping I make it to the one gas station I know of that has premium, if not, f**k it, im getting regular

I'v been riding for 8 years now, and I have a 08 1000RR an 05 f4i an 01 f4i an 07 kawaski 650r and a 07 600rr all sitting in my garage. all but the kawi and the 600rr are mine.

now I only ride twice a week at most, when its sunny and i feel like it.

partly because the "thrill" of riding alone is gone by now. and also because I split times with my convertible, I think if I had a ****ty car I would ride a lot more.

Im with ya Rojer. Last year i put like 16k miles on, this year i might hit 3k. This year i got the camaro finished though, and i love driving it. The other factor is i only have a couple guys i actually like to ride with, and we all work a bunch. May not ride as much as i used to, but i love knowing its still in the garage when i need it.
