    giving up somthing you really like?

    im doing it hard lately.
    ive given up rugby this year to try and get some time for riding.
    i started playing when i was 4 and have never missed a season for 23 years.
    its hard seeing the boys going to play and on a sat night or sunday they talk about it and i dont feel part of it.
    but on the plus side i can go riding...
    any one else given somthing up they hold dear for riding more?

    I gave up sex to have babies.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I've got 4 - I've forgotten how the hell it happened.

    I've given up riding for a few short summer months to do up a run down house...but I've bought another bike which is something to look forward to...

    Is there a clever mathmetician here who can post the formula describing the relationship of kids/years married/amount-chances of nooky? I just know that the answer is not 42.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    You have a bike. What more do you want ? Besides money is the work of the devil, so therefore, by your bike making you get rid of the stuff, it is preventing you from the evil influences of too much money. So bike are good, and are just looking out for your wellbeing.

    PS There are of course, exceptions ie Ramius's GSX250 suicidal hell beast

    Give up things all the time.
    Just a fact of being eternaly broke.
    Never for good of course,but things do tend to go on the back burner while I concertrate on what ever the latest craze is.
    Every thing has taken a back seat to saving the money to buy another house over the last year or so.
    My rifles havn't been looked at in twelve months,the bows have only been shot in the back yard,the fishing gear is looking real sad an the bike only get's ridden on the occasional weekend.
    Giving things up for a while is just part of the flow for me,it always comes back around but.
