Might be going bikeless soon
So I've come to the realization that as much as I like riding my bike every day that the weather and the drivers around here don't seem to care and make it more stressful and dangerous lately than I'd like. Which means I intend to sell my bike very soon and get a cage that's decent on gas.
I love riding, and I still plan to. Just going to be taking a break from it for a while. I have a lot of real life issues too that are kind of piling up and getting me stressed out and being on a bike with all that stuff on your mind probably isn't a great idea. I'll probably end up getting a dirt bike or track bike at some point though, that's definitely a possibility, but as far as riding on the street I don't think I can do that anymore for a while. 17k+ miles in a bit less than a year and a half is plenty of fun for me for a while and I'm lucky I've made it that many miles without getting myself hurt and I have you guys to thank for that. It's a great community here even though a good portion of threads turn into circle jerks you all mean well, definitely a lot better minds here than there are locally in bike clubs. |

Good that you recognized that you should probably take a break. No harm in that. Also glad that you still intend to ride in a less stressful capacity. Riding on the street definitely can be ******. Hope you get back into riding sooner rather than later

I would say a bike is safer than your flying dog!
17k miles is quite a bit, and gearing lots of gear in the heat has to suck in FL, Then there is the blue-haired nice old ladies driving around in FL... Stick around either way. |

But not riding Florida roads like Whiskey does overseas is a ticket for disaster. I hope you will still wave to all of us from your car.

I'm a bit south of you in Jupiter. I completely respect your decision to take a break but I'm puzzled by your timing. The Summer hot humid and rainy season is officiallty over and we will be shortly rewarded with cooler and drier weather for months. While others are winterizing their bikes, I'm going to be riding for sure.
