to go against the grain
I hung my leathers up this year and haven't looked back since!
Replaced the road riding with Trials riding, totally off road, mainly practice ground and a few events and am having the most fun on a motorbike that i have experienced for a few years.
I had been riding on the road since 98 and had some cracking times, but over the last few years found that i was more concious of speed traps/cameras, other road users and generally not enjoying the little time i got on my bike.
Now i look forward to the weekends, ride almost every weekend and mid week in the summer eve's, not worried about the bike getting scratched or caked in crud and am learning a totally new set of skills on a motorbike (not really transferable to road riding) and since starting both my kids have also started to ride, so I get another buzz of seeing them having a great time as well
