Getting slower and slower.
« on: June 17, 2007, 08:45:17 PM »
I didn't go for a ride today. Billy nomates today. But thats not the issue. I'm starting to ride slower and slower, my mind is making me slower and more cautious.

Everytime I see a crash or hear of one of you guys binning it it affects my mental capacity to ride a zx10. In fact I think I'm going to trade in tomorrow for an ER6 or maybe a Clio. The more I sit at home and think about it the more I realise I'm 39 have two kids and a lovely wife and I need to be sensible and calm down

But then I got the steed out today washed & polished it, started it up to dry it out and I thought to myself it sounds to good, it looks to good and when I ride it I feel alive. I live once and yes I want a long life. Because the longer I live the more time I have for riding the 10...

Trade her in ..... not a chance.
If I ever think like this again all I have to do is go out side and start her up.

Dude, I feel the same, at least we can wobble about at the same pace :lol:, seriously though it's just self preservation kicking in.

we should start up a zx10r.co.uk lottery syndicate and then if we win the lottery we can buy a bit of land and get planning to build our own race track.... then we won't have to worry about car a bumps and all that rubbish....

and I have a mate who is an emergency ambulance technician he can do the on site medical shit sorted  :headbang:

yes the accidents do make you rethink and sometimes the winter break stories make you think about if it's worth it.

I don't ride lots of miles and ride mid week at night to avoid most traffic, I get more fun that way.

Everytime I get on the bike I love it and then to meet similar minded guys is great too, just like this site if I didn't have a bike maybe I'd never have met you great guys  :dontknow:

The one big message is to take care and to keep enjoying what we do  :brave:

There's nothing like a bit of sense from a family " elder " to put you back on the straight and narrow  :icon_thumright:

My problem is the rush though.... I need to have the edge... now I don't ride mad fast but I do ride fast enough for it to be a problem... I think  rethink might happen ...

I don't have kids but I do have family   :-/ well see how I feel when the beast is ridable again  :-/

After reading Jon's thread it makes you realise how fragile life is and how we take it for granted.

yes I do love riding and will keep riding, you can't let things get you down as you would never ride again.

I feel bummed after that news.
