I nearly gave it up 3 years ago when I was hit from behind by a drunken pikey-who then did a runner-but I love it too much to do it. I know I would miss the roads particularly since I like to do the odd long trip-which is why my ST has 21,000 miles on it in 3 years-in fact it was actually 18,000 in 2 years since I haven't ridden it much this year. If you notice my tagline it says "Growing old Disgracefully" well that's me, and I intend to do it on my bike. John |
