I have been a very enthusiastic motorcycle enthusiast. In 3 years I've put close to 50,000 miles on 3 different bikes. I've bought all the gear. I buy new gear. Better gear. Tires. Take off on trips and dont call home for a few days.
Even after I got married and wehad our daughter, I continued. Until about 6 months ago... Really since my daughter started walking around and being able to really play outside... and enjoy the outdoors (and especially animals) as well.
So, I have really changed my thinking about trips. Instead of being alone, or with a couple of my motorbike buddys, for a week long trip... I enjoy taking day trips and weekend outtings with my family.
For the last 6 months or so I have been really ignoring my motorcycle. A few reasons:
A) Losing interest
B) Motorcycles are inherently dangersous (especially the way i ride ) and
C) I can't take my wife or daughter with me on my motorcycle.
Now, I have been making my vehicle more dependable, able to carry more gear, more comfortable, etc. I am looking forward to being able to spend more time with my family on the road and seeing new places. I've even been working on being able to carry the gear and take my dog places too.
Any of you guys experienced such changes?
