It's been eight months since I sold the mighty 1400 and I'm missing riding like hell. Also missing all the crew I used to ride with too. :(

Doesn't seem to be too many posting online now either.

That would explain the lack of Beyond videos on youtube :mad:
You're the reason I ALMOST bought a GSX1400.

I had a few more ideas for vids as well...... you still should have bought one while they were still making them. I'm sure you would never have regretted doing so :)

Geez mate that stinks like a dirty nappy in the glove box.

Firstly I hope you get to return to riding soon, secondly, yes a great deal of entertaining people no longer post. A real shame, it used to be hilarious online.

Now go put some pants on. I can see you in your hacked webcam.

Riding is like blood corsing through your veins. Makes you feel alive!

That, and putting your balls on a paper clips sticking out of a 240v socket.

I know exactly how you feel mate. I couldn't be missing riding and more than I am. On a weekend, to meet up with that group of fantastic people that you know well, and ride so well with every week. Beers after a good days riding together. Lunch missions away from the main routes. On a perfectly still night, when you are home alone with nothing to do and usually you would jump on your noble steed and ride solo to a beautiful spot somewhere to pass some gentle hours out on the road. Just you and the road ahead.

I miss these times so much. Riding was my entire life, and everything I looked forward to each and every week. Right through winter with the wet wethers on. But for me it's only been 3 months. I know it will more than likely be another 6 months. And mate, I feel your pain. In so many ways. I hope you manage to get back on 2 wheels again soon - when the time is right. If riding is in your blood, and in your heart like it is mine now, then being without it is such a hard thing to do.

I broke the habit of a life time and deliberately set out in the pouring rain yesterday, I just couldn't wait any longer to get my ridding fix. Cold and wet through but still enjoyable, so yeah I hear ya Bud, 3 days without riding is about it for me before I go crazy and I know how much you loved the ride.:(

I offered my bike to someone a while ago who was in the same position as you Paul.
Not for weeks on end, but if he wanted to do a day trip anywhere, and, if I wasn't using it.
It will two weeks tomorrow since my last ride, must get out.

Big move away from the GSX. Be real interested to see what you think of the ZX14 Nearly went down that route myself :)

I ended up opting for a slightly cheaper TL1000s.
There's a black GSX lurking around my neighbourhood and every time I see it I get pissed off. :drool:

Sold my road bike 2 months ago and downgraded to a 'economical' and 'sensible' scooter. Its unbelievable how much I miss proper biking right now, but won't be getting another road bike for the foreseeable future. :weep: Only reason I still have my sanity is because I still have my track bike to ride on the odd occasion.

Yup, I sympathise with you...:weep::weep::weep: It has been 14 weeks since my last :ride: :cry::cry:

Only 3 weeks till my next ride:banana::banana::banana:

And if there are no earthquakes to bugger this trip up you can bet the Ash cloud from South America will stop me from getting home:mad::mad::mad:

2) I arrived in Chch the day of the Sept earthquake...laying awake with jetlag at Rolleston when it hit.
3) I was just leaving the minesite to depart for Chch when the Feb earthquake hit.
4) now this, and...
5) I depart here for Chch on the 26th of June....you have been warned.

Thanks for the awesome offer Steve. Not too many folks would be so generous. My only concern is that if something goes wrong I'm currently in no position to do the decent thing and make sure all is good as the mortgage is a kicker. Loving the new place though which is some consolation and all going well will probably pick up another steed at some stage.... I hope :)

Thanks heaps though mate :)
