What is going to stop you riding your motorbike as in giving up?

We have plenty, trade you for some knives?

I can only think of one example and that was short lived. Everywhere else they pay a slightly lower toll.

Free in the UK. Even those with barriers. Just roll up wave at the operator. He normally waves back and raises the barrier (I used to live near the Severn bridges)

I see. None in the Antipodes. Or anywhere I've lived anyhoo.

The northern in Auckland was free for bikes for a while IIRC. But that was only for the opening stanza.

Good question really.

Physical aliments that stop riding. Then I'll muscle car or hotrod it ......

Mentally - when the buzz goes and stays gone.

I figure when the physical starts reducing the ride time I'll spend more time in the shed modifying something than riding it. Still technically motorcycling.

what was it that killed the dinosaurs? If that happens again it may stop be from riding.

When I have to give up riding, the bloody wife is going to have to learn how to ride. Still too many places I haven't been to yet.

Would have to be a life altering event. Would exhaust all possibilities until there are none.

I wouldn't be even seen dead on a harley like that.

I would - but I'd keep a stiff upper lip.

That's OK. No one week see you - tool be in the locked box!

Thinking some more about what to do when my body finally packs up and stops me riding sport or sport/touring bikes, I really don't fancy riding a cruiser and a trike like a Can-Am leaves me cold. It might seem like heresy, but reckon I'd probably go for a Fraser or similar Lotus7 lookalike. My wife has a tweaked MX5 and whilst people call them hairdressers cars, it's bloody good fun to hammer on the twisty roads where we live. Being terribly un-PC, driving the MX5 is like shagging an enthusiastic fat chick - great fun as long as your mates don't find out

Im already in the process of building me a trike for the day I cannot lift my leg over a bike.

When I give up riding, it will probably be through failing eyesight or some other physical impairment. Once retired, the cost of owning a bike may become a factor.
