Lost the bug

[trickylad]

The bug will comeback.

I have been forced to give up riding,and haven't been on a bike for about eight months. The passion hasn't gone from this old fart when it comes to old bikes, even though I may never ride one again.

Trust me,when you've been bitten the bug never leaves.

Ride ya bike dummy!!

al.

ps my back hasn't been this pain free for seven years.

i know you're right al, but my Zaskar's sat in the garage, brakes need rebuilding, gears all out of line and i simply haven't been able to muster the energy to sort it.

perhaps it's time to flog the fleet

Mine's long gone... :cry:

The desire has all but vanished.

I'm keeping a couple of important (to me) bikes for sentimental reasons.

why'd you lose your mojo for it steve? helpful to know..

Winter is a bind.
Short dull days, crappy weather not enough time and trails that have that quagmire feel.

Give it time and wait for a dry day to go for a spin. There is no harm in easing off and besides you've been busy and have other things to deal with.

Bang on this. I'd been feeling really fed up recently, spending all my time indoors and not really doing much. Went out on one of my bikes today and feel much better in myself tonight.

just plain old depression, I'm afraid.

I don't wanna bring doom and gloom on such a great forum, so not gonna talk about it, cos this aint the place. Hope you understand..

 

[trickylad]

Sorry to hear that Steve. Totally understand.

Hope things work out for you, sorry for asking.
