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.

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.

Only reason I still have my sanity is because I still have my track bike to ride on the odd occasion.
