Here to make everything METAL
Yes I was devastated when I lost my first bike in a crash... it felt like losing a dear friend.
From my experience getting a new one is a bit of an alienating sensation for a while, as you kind of struggle to embrace the new bike after you've just lost one, but it will all come with time.
What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.
If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.

I'm not about to jump on this emotional bandwagon you guys are travelling on but I did put my bike up for sale a couple of months back, and then got offended when anyone tried to buy it.
Usually I destroy bikes to the point I'm glad to see the piles of shit become someone else's problem. Funny enough its only the Jap bikes I have owned that fall into that category.

I had a wee cry whilst at On Road NZ doing the change of ownership when we sold my gpz250. I was pregnant though, and knew I'd be getting a bigger bike one day. I was quite attached to that little bike, it was quite special to me.

Nah, its a bike. Enjoy it while you have it for sure, but at the end of the day its a lump of metal and plastic.
The day I stopped getting emotionally attached to my bikes was the day I realised I could have fun without worrying about every little scratch or stone chip, didn't have to clean them every 5 minutes, and could just go out and enjoy the ride.
