Flagging interest in riding lately... - Page 5

Well, yeah, mine needs to go to someone who will put some miles on it, or...hell.. track it.
Between the heat, traffic, my schedule, and my other interests, riding just isn't happening for me right now and I feel like I'm making payments & paying insurance for nothing.

We'll be at the track Monday and Tuesday - get your happy butt down there.

Oh HELL no.

1. I have no leathers/aerostitch/etc
2. I haven't even ridden on the street in a couple of months
3. When I'm already thinking about selling it, no way am I taking a chance pitching it at the track when it's still pristine. You know my luck.

I have little to no desire to ride in this 90-100 degree crap. It's not good for me or the bike, screw it. I'm like Trip, waiting for it to cool down. I'm super pumped about the rally in sep and the ride down. Hell, I'm thinking about buying a GPS today so I can plot my way around the country.

I think for many, and I know I went through this before I made bike switches. You get tired of the different bikes... first I was tired of the speed bikes (rockets), then I was tired of the choppers and it's flaws. Now I have a bike I can see myself with for many many years. It does it's job perfectly.

I think the bike you have has a great deal to do with it. I've been telling marko this for the last couple years.

I'm noticing that with the exception of Tommy, every other buell owner is selling, has sold and don't ride them much at all.

I have a couple spare sets of leathers.

I think there are 5 people registered right now. Empty track....

Make no mistake, I love my XB. It's great for about 10 minutes. Then my back starts to hurt. But I love the sound and look and performance of the bike. If my back didn't kill me every time I rode it I might ride more.

I didn't want Harley seeing any of my money. And my insurance went through the roof.

I loved that bike, and I have a 12ss I can borrow.

How much was your insurance? Mine is 400/year for full coverage.
