Well, I've been riding for 24 years on and off. And I'm only 28..
Does that buy me a membership in the valued opinion category? Aside from that, I would like to say its a big part of my life, it just hasn't been this year. Too many things on the go. I seriously considered selling it this year. Still weighs on my mind from time to time. I have zero interest in risking my life to improve my skills. Been to the edge of my tires and back countless times, can wheelie, can do gay stoppies, yet I have no desire to push my limits any more. I just feel like I'm on the wrong bike for the type of riding I do. There is a tourer in my future. I just don't know how soon. I want to do 1000 mile days. |

I've been riding since I was a little kid and have owned a mc since I was 14, I'm 44 now and I don't plan to stop until I finally die from cancer or on my bike.

I am not a rabid motorcyclist. I AM a rabid gardener.

My family is number one.
Motorcycling is number two. |

I dont stunt, I dont push limits, there are no canyons to carve in Florida. Id like to do some trackdays at some point but I just havent had the means yet. I just prefer riding a motorcycle to the other transportation options I have. Maybe if I get a jet pack Ill put the bike away. |

I dont ever see myself giving up on riding. leaving the SPORTBIKE world, possibly, and getting a tourer, but not ever giving up entirely.

41 years into it, I haven't really thought about quiting. It is just part of my life.

I dunno i'll ever 'stop', but I ride a lot less now that im a little older. I prefer snowmobiles, and if I had to choose one right now, it would probably be that. But I imagine ill pretty much always have some form of motorcycle around. How much I use it is really what is to be determined. We dont have the best summers anyway.

I do nothing but work and motorcycles. If I'm not on the MC I'm usually on a MC forum. I do not really drink, do bars, no gaming, nothing else. I'm MC 23/7. I don't see that ever ending nor do I think my buds who's bikes I wrench on will let me if I wanted to.
