Losing interest....

[KSGregman]

I'm having a stretch where my interest in riding has REALLY tailed off...I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about a "why?" and am drawing a blank. I'm not any more risk averse than I ever was....and I still enjoy it when I DO go ride...but...I just don't make the time to get out there as much as I have in the past.

Anyone else have stretches of casual disinterest in riding like this?

Yeah...
It usually happens around November\December and last to about March.

Maybe you should sell the bike and get a Ducati. Put a nice exhaust on it.
Get a cool helmet that says Brony on the side.

That's a great way to reinvigorate the ridin gland

[Porkchop]

I am with PD... get a different bike. Something that really gets the blood going.

I follow roadcraftnottingham on youtube. He purchase the new Tuono V4 and openly said it totally reinvigorated his passion for riding....

[udman]

Funny. I just sold my last Hawk GT this morning. As in...I now have no bikes. Wait, did I just disqualify myself from posting here anymore?...Dammit!

[Apoc]

The harley killed my passion for riding as well. Sold it in June. Hopefully next year ill get a busa or zx14.

[Tsunami]

I have been pretty disinterested as well. I don't commute to work since I wear scrubs and also I eat breakfast and dinner in the car. Which leaves my days off to ride, but I have been so busy lately with the new house and just being exhausted with a new career and long hours at work that I when I do have a free moment I just want to lay on the couch.

I do need to get out more though

[Sixxxxer]

I'm now currently addicted to riding on the Track...My STREET Riding has lowered.

On the track, Is a different story.

[azoomm]

I lost interest for a while. Strange enough, it was the second year I had the track. Frankly, I think I burned out on it. I mean, we went through 11 sets of tires the first year. And I was driving the car and went through 3 sets of tires on a Mini Cooper. We weren't racing any of it - just riding like hell.

I think it turned into a lot of work for me. I took a few months off, which was tough working for BMW. I know - first world problems with my hand on my forehead. :lol:

But, I'm now back into it full swing. I'm riding on the street for my own entertainment again which hasn't happened in a long time. Pace yourself, man. You DID just get a new sportscar...

The car IS taking up quite a bit of my attention (and money :lol: )

I still want the M109-R...no other bike out there right now fires me up like it does...well, except for the Triumph Rocket III Roadster...but...that will need to be a project for another day.

[EpyonXero]

Nowadays I only ride when the weather is perfect, like today. A new bike would be nice.

[Trip]

I got that way toward the end of my sport bike days. Maybe it's time for a new type of riding.

Ducati Diavel :rockwoot:

[Papa_Complex]

I had a more than three year stretch, where I barely threw a leg over. In my case it started with rebreaking a collarbone, in a non riding related incident, followed by a series of other more minor injuries. I got out of the riding habit and didn't get back into it, until I bought my new ER-6n a couple of years back. Even now, though, I'm more of a commuting rider than the tourer that I used to be.

[azoomm]

Ducati Diavel :rockwoot:
I'm not going to lie, I actually really like the ride on that demo. It had semi truck torque with sport handling.

[derf]

I know the feeling, I used to take a nice 24 mile route to work (instead of the straight 8 miles commute, now I'm exactly 2 miles from work, and there is almost no justifiable reason to take any kind of long way.

I only find myself on the bike once or twice a week

I went through something similar.

I went from racing a lot to mostly trackdays and instructing. Then, I bought a new bike, had a baby, went through a crashing streak and seemingly had a major regression in my riding ability (speed).

All of the sudden, going to the track felt more like work than fun. I'd leave the track more frustrated than when I showed up. I came >ll< close to packing it all up for a few years.

[pauldun170]

Whenever I lose the bug I go out and get lost somewhere.

[CasterTroy]

I had been losing the passion for a while. A lost friend and a crash a year after that solidified my loss of drive.

Now I have no desire to ride on the road at all.

I did track only for a year after that, and had some fun...but that too just fizzled out.

With ME...it's age. The same things don't drive me that use too when I was 20.

I bought a dirtbike and returned to my roots. I LOVE that :rockwoot:

I too agree with trying a new type bike. Dirt or dual or cruise.

Borrow something. See if it butters your beans.

[KSGregman]

Honestly, what I'd LIKE to do is get a dual sport....and take my camping gear out into the wide open free range lands here in Kansas....ride out into the middle of no where until I found a spot that caught my fancy....set up a small camp...spend the evening reading...hiking about some....watching the stars...then ride back home again the next day.

Make the motorcycle the means...not the ends....to the hobby. :idk:

Several of my old sportbike buddies have gone this route :rockwoot:

That Diavel just reignited my flame. YUM.

After a test ride, I too wanted one pretty bad. IF I ever got back on the street that's the route I'd likely take :rockwoot:

[RACER X]

kekeke, my next bike!

already done 2 test rides.......got a flyer for a 3rd and a free tshirt, lol

[KSGregman]

I'm not sure I'm digging it...it's got the fat rear end of a M109-R....which I wicked love....but the front end..what a mess. It's like a Ducati/B-King/V-Max....thing.

Having said that, if I got on and gave it a rip and it was a loud ass torque monster with decent agility, I'd probably be hooked. :lmao:

I thought the same thing. Then I rode one and the second statement came to be. I expected it to handle like a cruiser. Not.One.Bit.

They took a monster, stretched it and pissed it off.

[Sean]

Every time my bike hits 12-13k, I get bored. Remember, I'm not touring, so that's all canyon, track, and urban traffic miles.

I'm currently bored and haven't ridden it in a while. Know how many miles are on it? 13,100. Anyone wanna buy a 675?

First world problems, I know. Time for a change.

[RACER X]

Lol not at $ 35k, D ain't gong to let that happen

Maybe you could buy one, complain about problems with it, get a free replacement, and sell the original? Hmmmmmmmm..........

[azoomm]

:lol:

No one gets anything when they complain about a Ducati. Everyone just nods and smiles, pats him on the head and says "Yep welcome to Ducati"

[wildchild]

I go through the loss of interest thing every now and then. Friends go down and don't come back, you find yourself with other committments that don't include the bike, you do more commuting then "riding" with it.
Then you get rid of it and call it a day. Next season you can't stop remembering the good times on the bike. time for another.
I agree with everyone above, change it up. Azoom's statement about the new car is also very true. New go fast toys tend to make everything else boring. LOL
A little time in the dirt always seems to bring the joy back to riding. Few rules to deal with. (except laws of physics LOL) No cars, and few people.
Your camping plan sounds fun as hell.

[No Worries]

I ride the same bike that I rode in 1979. It was fun then and is more fun now. Mostly because I've had lessons. In the last five years I've had two classroom lessons from Lee Parks, and one track lesson.

Two weeks ago I was on my old GS1000 and stopped at a turnoff going up Lookout Mountain. I was about to pull back out when a BMW S1000RR zoomed past. It was the beautiful red, white and blue one. I tried to catch up. Usually I have no problem keeping up with faster bikes. But this rider must have had lessons too. He pre-leaned into a corner, cranked his helmet to look through the corner, and took off.

Now I took a demo on the S1000RR and know how spectacular the brakes and engine are, but for me it was slow getting around corners. I blamed the seating position, with my shoulders over the handlebars, and the too narrow handlebars. Since I was leaning on the handlebars, it was difficult for me to push them left or right.

Anyway, the BMW got stuck behind a car and I caught up, but then he passed the car and I had to ride like a maniac to catch up again. I'm sure the BMW rider enjoyed the ride, but I really enjoyed it. But even when I ride by myself, which is 99% of the time, I still enjoy it. And I hope I do for many more years.

[Adeptus_Minor]

I know the feeling. The poor Buell has barely been out of the garage in so many months.
I rolled it out, started it, and let it run for a while just so I can remember how it sounds.
(why does the only really decent aftermarket exhaust have to be goddamn $1k.)

I was thinking for a while that I'd finally just trade it in on the Triumph Thruxton, but now I'm thinking I may just sell it and be bikeless for a while. I have some other things that should be taking priority and I don't think a shiny new bike will be the cure for my disinterest (at least not long term).
Once I get that other thing taken care of, I may see about picking up an older bike. Something that I can develop my wrenching skills on... not so inundated with technology...
That's my thought for now. By next year I may be thinking something entirely different.

[KSGregman]

The truth of it? Honestly?

I'm most interested in modding out my new car....putting my time...energy....money...into that project. Sell my M109-R...and put those funds into some goodies for the motor in Z....and get a used dual sport next Spring.

If a season of that type of riding doesn't scratch the itch, I'll go get the Rocket III that I've eyed for a couple of years.

[Apoc]

I just dont think its worth it to have a bike anymore. Insurance has gone nowhere but up, and riding season is shorter than a circus midget. This is my first season since 02 without a street bike. When I sold the others, the itch was back within weeks. But since I sold the HD, I haven't even seriously considered a new bike. Bought new golf clubs and did that all summer.

Thats good and all until you realize you are wrenching more than riding. Its sucks. Pick carefully.....

The HD is the root of your problem. Bored you to death. :wink:

[Sean]

Well, it's salvage title, and I'm asking 4100, so that's basically the story :)

[Cutty72]

I'm kinda there now. With the move I'm way too far from a decent road for a sport bike. I still LOVE the Buell, and need the ability to get retarded from time to time. Not sure if the Duc is the answer as the closest dealer is the Cities (5-6 hour trip) Thinking the Rocket III may not be bad, more cruiser, but still stupid power (that can wheelie)

[Adeptus_Minor]

I'm thinking late 70's CB/KZ/XS. All of those are pretty solid and usually only require a little tuning now & then to keep them running like a top.

Don't forget the old GS 1000, 1100 and 1150. The engines were way overbuilt and the chassis has gussets everywhere. The electrical system is another story.

And I have an old magazine where they first tested the XS1100. They took it to the midwest and back to LA. And it only cost them around $50 bucks in gas. Nowadays that wouldn't even get them to SF and back.

Indeed.
Actually, an old XS1100 would be tits, even though I'd kinda prefer something a little lighter.

[Kaneman]

Yup, I lost interest in riding around summer of last year and got rid of my motorcycles. Motorcycling has been good to me, but I found something that I enjoy more and requires me to not be maimed up.

It came in steps...first I got tired of changing shoes and putting all that gear on just to ride around the congested metroplex. Then I got more and more paranoid that everyone around me was on Facebook. Which wasn't really paranoia, all you have to do is look through a few driver windows to see a huge percentage of people are on their phones while they're driving.

Everyone here knows the pros of riding, but here are the cons that did me in...
- Gear is inconvenient
- Speeding tickets suck
- Riding in DFW sucks
- Drivers suck
- Death sucks
- Riding got to be boring.

Get an Aerostich Roadcrafter II

Don't speed (or don't get caught)

You have obviously never ridden in Toronto

- Drivers suck

No argument

- Death sucks

Haven't tried it yet, so I can't really comment

- Riding got to be boring.

Boring? With bad drivers and death? Sounds more like a sport....



....

[KSGregman]

...but I found something that I enjoy more and requires me to not be maimed up.


I won't lie...that DOES factor into my decision making. I've achieved A LOT building a better body over the last 7 months...and the thought of missing workouts due to a bike crash doesn't appeal to me. :lmao:

[Kaneman]

....

- I've worn an Aerostitch before. Its Texas, they're hot.

- Speeding is fun, obeying the speed limit is boring.

- I've ridden in most of the U.S., which is part of the reason riding in DFW sucks.

- Tooling around at the speed limit, sitting at red lights, traveling straight highways....boring. Add in the bad drivers and death and it becomes boringly tedious. Even if I do have the couple hours to spare to get to some decent roads the speed limits are low and its boring to me.

Definitely not trying to hate on motorcycling, but yea, I've lost interest.

Get a set of cameras and do what I do; post video of the idiots online. It's great catharsis. It might also save a life or two, since you're a carry State.

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong attitude.

.....

[Kaneman]

.

You asked for convenient, not comfortable in 120F weather.

Seems like that would be a given, however an Aerostitch isn't really very convenient, just more convenient than a jacket and pants. You still have to put on the Aerostitch, boots, long socks, gloves, headphones AND get all your stuff packed into a bag, etc. etc. By the time you get ready to roll out I could already be half way there by automobile.


Hence my "or don't get caught" comment.

Very simplistic statement that offers no real solution. Speeding without getting caught means being extremely focused on where a cop may appear and adjusting speed accordingly. Indeed I find that it takes a good percentage of focus from actually riding and just isn't that fun to be constantly searching for cops.

So come ride up here for a week. I promise you that DFW will seem like heaven afterwards.

Your city is going to make some of the most congested highways and surface streets in America seem like they're fun to ride in? You think sitting in bumper to bumper traffic sucking in exhaust fumes in 110 degree heat (while wearing gloves, boots, Aerostitch, helmet, etc., sounds even remotely fun or entertaining? More power to you if you do, but its not for me. Pre-emptive counter to your probable counter....its not really any more fun no matter what the temperature.

Get a set of cameras and do what I do; post video of the idiots online. It's great catharsis. It might also save a life or two, since you're a carry State.

Doesn't sound even remotely fun to me. Not to mention the time it takes to upload, edit, and etc those videos.

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong attitude......

Really? I'm pretty sure the name of the thread and topic of discussion is literally losing interest in motorcycling. My attitude seems very appropriate to me for the conversation at hand.

...

*the color coding obviously didn't work, but you get the idea.

[KSGregman]

I've made up my mind....gonna sell the M109-R and put the proceeds into mods for the car. I'm not sure yet if I'll shoot the entire wad on a forced injection system....or just part of it on CAI/Exhaust....I have a lot more due diligence to complete before making THAT decision.

The decision to sell the M109-R is made, though.

I bring a pair of pants with me, to work, on Monday. Take them home on Friday. Load up a fresh shirt every day, to bring with me. Putting on a two piece 'Stich takes about 30 seconds. A one-piece is about 20 seconds. Yup, if a couple of minutes a day isn't as important as the convenience of not taking that time, then you've definitely lost it.

Very simplistic statement that offers no real solution. Speeding without getting caught means being extremely focused on where a cop may appear and adjusting speed accordingly. Indeed I find that it takes a good percentage of focus from actually riding and just isn't that fun to be constantly searching for cops.

Simplistic, perhaps, but accurate. You can pick your times and places, to avoid getting the pull. If you're misbehaving in city traffic, then you deserve the ticket. Yup. Simple.

Nope, I wouldn't call that fun. If that's all riding is to you, then definitely give it up. I would weigh the crap on Toronto streets against any other city north of the Mexican border, however, and it would seem that there are several organizations in North America who have rated our traffic as the worst. That's what 30 years of lack of civic planning, with epic growth, will do to you.

Doesn't sound even remotely fun to me. Not to mention the time it takes to upload, edit, and etc those videos.

We each retain or lose our sanity in our own ways.

Really? I'm pretty sure the name of the thread and topic of discussion is literally losing interest in motorcycling. My attitude seems very appropriate to me for the conversation at hand.

Not if you're looking for reasons to ride.

lol, yea bro, you probably just like riding a motorcycle more than I do. More power to you! I've got somewhere around 200k miles experience and have owned 10 different bikes, I would hope after that amount of experience I could reasonably decide if I still enjoy it enough to risk it.

Hell, I don't even mountain bike on trails anymore. As stated, I have a vested interest in staying healthy and strong, getting wiped out by some whore posting on her FB would be detrimental to my lifestyle.

Yeah, I'm sitting somewhere around the same lifetime mileage, if not more. My point is that if you're looking for reasons why you shouldn't ride, then you've already given it up. If you're looking for reasons to ride, then you haven't made up your mind yet.

[Porkchop]

I love the speeding ticket thing. Is it weird that I normally do the speed limit around town on the bike but speed like hell in the car? I doesn't help that I ride a red italian bike now, so that instantly makes me a target. But I'm perfectly fine doing the speed limit on the bike, but get super impatient in the car.... :idk:

Well, it's salvage title, and I'm asking 4100, so that's basically the story :)

What was the reason of salvage?

I'm thinking late 70's CB/KZ/XS. All of those are pretty solid and usually only require a little tuning now & then to keep them running like a top.

KZ1000R??? Hell Yea!!!! :rockwoot:

That may be one of the best quotes I've heard recently about riding.

[Sean]

Kicked over when parked

[Homeslice]

These days I just don't see the fun of commuting unless it's a twisty road or a bumper to bumper highway that I can split through. Otherwise, if it's just normal traffic, I'd rather take the car.

Plus I need to wear nice clothes to work (i.e. pressed shirt and wool pants, sorry but khakis won't do where I work), so the only way I could accomplish that is by driving to work Monday and bringing the other 4 days worth of clothes with me to leave at the office, to change into in the morning after arriving to work. Unless someone has a magical way of folding a dress shirt and pants into a backpack without getting them wrinkled.....I really doubt it.

I've always wondered about that.

I guess most of the people riding to work wear jeans/khakis and a t-shirt or polo.

For those of us that work in an office environment, smelling like exhaust fumes and looking like you've never heard of dry cleaning doesn't cut it.

[dubbs]

I've lost interest... I sold the busa, dirt bike, and just sold the enduro yesterday. Actually did something really boring and put it back into the house with updates n such and bought a 20' x 26' steel garage. May just mod the S2000, not sure what to do about a bike yet.

[RACER X]

still motorin pretty much everyday, any commute on my bike is better then in a cage, IMO

and the weather is turning nice

next yr could be a prob. if i have to p/u both kids from school, no scooter, unless i get a sidehack :)

Are you still thinking about relocating?

[dubbs]

Are you still thinking about relocating?

Kinda gave that idea up.. Was down there in July and it was stupid fucking hot.. Even at night, it just sucked to be out of the A/C.. Besides that and everywhere you went was a major highway with tons of traffic all times of the day and I just didn't get a good vibe while down there.

My parents also tricked me into staying. They have a nice house and told me in about 10 yrs I could have it as long as I bought them a condo. So I decided to stay, make more money, and make it work hence the upgrades and extra garage.
