Hello OR Fam, long time I been lurking unable to quit. But this has been the longest stint I been away from active riding. Almost 1.5yrs without any active miles on a bike. It doesn’t sound like much but for me it was a long time Usually I was able to go only like 3-4 months at best before relapsing. Well jerry not around anymore makes a difference too. This last January I was looking through old footage of our rides , then moved to OR group rides , epic rides and lots of other hours and hours of clips I have stored. And after hours and days of indulging in these I was starting to miss it. Still I tried to fight as much as possible, but the cycle trader app appeared back on phone, Craigslist app is always open on browser. And finally the nail in deaddiction coffin was when wife confessed she actually missed the two up trips we used to do a lot before becoming parents. And possibly wanting to start riding short trips again. And by Feb I was done and then started visiting showrooms to just watch from a distance. But it was like diabetic in a candy shop. In short back to my old ways I guess, with some difference. Mostly will be sticking to two up rides with better half to short stop destinations. Will try to avoid those crazy adrenaline rushes. Haha So guess what stupid OCD decision making I made. Wanted to keep the budget within price of previous toys. Don’t like the concept of excess spending or debt on toys. No more two bikes at same time. Clean simple bike Something I will be acting sane and can do two ups etc. I always said statistically we should all quit while we are on good side of the equation. Our bad day and number slot might just be around the corner. But gambling with 2 wheel is just soooo addictive. I will post as soon as someone makes the right call which is highly highly likely. In the unlikely scenario no one guesses right will post answer before I page thread finishes. No more dragging on like last time. If some one makes ales extremely good correct guess of year/ make/ model / the first right guy wins 25$ amazon gift card. Always the first guess only counted This is an act of repentance that I wanted to do since the very first “guess bike shitty” trend. disclaimer : Andy and jacob are dq from playing since they caught me red handed snooping around my top few choices. Don’t txt and give away the answer to the Asian as well Edit: sorry for large txt wall, but it’s winter might as well just just start the mental Moto engine to warm it up. I am getting pumped just like first time I was on here hehe
