Retirement

[bobsnicholson]

For awhile now i've been considering giving up biking (keep the scoot for village runs and maybe tow behind the MH)
When i picked the Wing up from service and new tyre i said deffo giving it up.
Yesterday i was asked to deliver some papers to Crewe. I went on the Wing. The bike was superb, i was in the mood, everything went well, it was a joy.
How on earth can i justify to myself giving up when one has days like yesterday.
Finding it hard to decide one way or other.

Are you a Gemini ?.... being one myself is like having a constant argument..... one day I love a bike, another day I hate it.... The Z900 gave me a big dilemma as it was good and bad. I do think that being able to buy and sell bikes more frequently also makes you question the ones you have..... if that makes sense ? If you could only afford the Scooter and one more bike, what would it be ?..... for me it would be the MT09 as it suits my Gemini persona.

The Wing meets everything i want and need for a bike. Being somewhat mature (in age anyway) i am not interested so much in power, speed, cornering on pegs blah blah, comfort, protection from the elements within reason, a bit of poke (Wing has 125 bhp but weights a ton) is what i want/need.
Don't like the togging up when it's colder with all the layers.
But like yesterday, i do love being out in the elements.
I almost never ever close my visor..............close it only in heavy rain as that hurts the face when it hits.
EDIT. no i'm a Capricorn.

Nowt wrong with only riding when you feel like it.

You could always become a fair weather rider like me .

Remember , You're only as old as the woman you want to feel ! (or something like that)
