Sad Day, parting with a loved one.

No nothing died on me. I just decided to sell one of my motorcycles. I have had 3 shoulder surgeries and won’t be able to ride any time soon. Plus with having a daughter I thought I might try to stay alive for her.

So off goes my 2001 R1. It’s going to suck when I see it leave, but I still have my other motorcycle a 2004 Road Star Warrior. It’s more of a cruiser and will be a lot easier on my shoulder when I can start ridding again.

I feel ya. I sold my '07 CBR600RR a couple of weeks ago. I'm down to one; my beloved '07 GSX-R600. I'm holding on to this one, though.

Heal up quickly and get back on two wheels.

My brother bought a bike though but he does not ride much. He took the class and keeps the bike in his garage most of the time. He told me he did not want my uncles death to stop him from at least trying to ride.
