The NZ Police won! No more road biking for me

[Macstar]

Cheers boys n girls for your comments - good and bad!

Track days on my old motard was wicked fun and a good substitute to getting in trouble on public roads.

I recognise my hopeless inability to be well-behaved on a bike... will try again in my 30s!

Oh damn....

But seriously, what about when you have REASONS i.e. kids and a wife etc? Does that make one a more sensible / cautious rider?

I respect your attempt at responsibility to your familys needs, although seemingly a big decision to make... if family first is your choice. It is a good one. One I would agree with... and take it easy in the cage...
Try again in your 40's...

Good on ya for making a very mature decision, and knowing when to fold 'em.
There'll always be bikes to come back to.

You'd think so wouldn't you. Just for a bit.

Then you realise that if you ride faster you get home earlier to spend more time with them


That's my excuse office and I'm sticking to it.....

In reality I found that you are a lot more sensible when passing, cornering in unknown areas etc and you seriously pick where and when you whack open the injectors.

as he writes out the 20 demerit point ticket...

As much as I hate seeing / hearing people are giving up motorcycling, (Have done it myself) but with limited income, and a family... An easy decision, NO it isn't. WELL DONE FOR DOING IT...
