I'm having a stretch where my interest in riding has REALLY tailed off...I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about a "why?" and am drawing a blank. I'm not any more risk averse than I ever was....and I still enjoy it when I DO go ride...but...I just don't make the time to get out there as much as I have in the past.
Anyone else have stretches of casual disinterest in riding like this? |

It usually happens around November\December and last to about March. Maybe you should sell the bike and get a Ducati. Put a nice exhaust on it. Get a cool helmet that says Brony on the side. That's a great way to reinvigorate the ridin gland |

I have been pretty disinterested as well. I don't commute to work since I wear scrubs and also I eat breakfast and dinner in the car. Which leaves my days off to ride, but I have been so busy lately with the new house and just being exhausted with a new career and long hours at work that I when I do have a free moment I just want to lay on the couch.
I do need to get out more though |

I lost interest for a while. Strange enough, it was the second year I had the track. Frankly, I think I burned out on it. I mean, we went through 11 sets of tires the first year. And I was driving the car and went through 3 sets of tires on a Mini Cooper. We weren't racing any of it - just riding like hell.
I think it turned into a lot of work for me. I took a few months off, which was tough working for BMW. I know - first world problems with my hand on my forehead. ![]() But, I'm now back into it full swing. I'm riding on the street for my own entertainment again which hasn't happened in a long time. Pace yourself, man. You DID just get a new sportscar...

Nowadays I only ride when the weather is perfect, like today. A new bike would be nice.
