I have log told myself that I'd never sell my current bike. It's been with me for 22 years and has been ridden to countless rallies and events all over the country. It is truly a part of my life. I've had 4 other bikes during the years that I have owned this one, and have had no issue selling any of the others.

This one is special. To me. You know what I mean.

Anyway--with each passing year I become less and less attached to it, as I simply do not trust anyone in a cage to see or react to me when I'm out on the bike. I'm not kidding when I say that every time I've had it out over the last few years, there has been a close call. A close call. No good. I don't want to die because some half-with is texting trivial nonsense instead of paying attention.

So it's for sale. I won't give it away, and I am not in a hurry, but it will be sold. I will be without a motorcycle for the first time since I was about 12.

I also must point out that as I live in the middle of a city, I must ride nearly 30 miles to get anywhere near the secondary roads, and that is on a very congested interstate. If that isn't enough to pucker your a-hole, then I don't know what is. Hell, I can barely stomach this city in a car anymore!

Anyway--I see where your wife's concern is, and she clearly loves you. Take that into consideration and make the best decision you can.

Good luck.
