Hey everyone,
First time posting so apologies if this is not quite in the right sub-forum, or if its been tabled before.
I've ridden most of my adult life, bar the last 3-years. I've had a Vespsa (old school and new), a Hornet, a 650GS and then my last bike was a Kawasaki W800. 3-years ago our little daughter came along and selling the bike coincided with that, plus a move back to NZ from OZ.
So, 3-years on and I'm not sure if its a combination of summer or that I'm simply thinking about riding and missing it but I'm seriously contemplating a return to riding. The days of telling the wife what I'm doing i.e. just going out and getting a bike after my research are sadly over. I'm actually wrestling with "is getting a bike and riding again bloody selfish/stupid, etc."
My commute here in the Waikato is 25mins in the car, which is great. So on good days I'd use the bike to nip in to work. I spend the free time I have training for ultra-marathons and don't know anyone to ride with at weekends.
I'm just wanting to ask folk if i'm missing anything i.e. at 41 and 3-years of no riding am i asking for trouble. The bikes that I have been looking at are the KTM Duke 390, the Kawa' Vulcan S, maybe a Bonneville or Scrambler but thats getting $$.
Anyway, be great to hear from folk. Cheers, Matt.
