    have a break, park up the bike in the garage under a cover and re access it down the track if it is something you are going to re kindle or regret doing...

    Me... I have been in a similar situation with jet boating... luckily I did not sell the boat and after a 2 year layoff with the boat taking up room in the garage Now I am getting back into it... so glad I did not sell my boat and all my boating gear as it would of costed shit loads to get all the gear back again...

    So my advice would be if you feel like that then have a break and put the bike in storage with rego on hold... give it time before you decide to get rid of everything...
    as I said before... just throwing it bac up here

    Get a new project - some old clunker that you won't want to ride too far on anyway but will give you plenty of tinkering and fettling to keep it going...and keep your interest in bikes going.

    JD sorry mate but a lot of us apreciate where (we think) Paul is at head space wise and the health issues we aren't (out of respect for the man) talking about. This is why a project was my suggestion. something to tinker with.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
