Don't feel like riding this year....

$4 a gallon got you down?

Come to Australia where it's OVER $6 a gallon.  And what sucks extra bad is, we have our own oil rigs pumping the stuff out and we export our oil to 40 countries.

so does oilberta. yet their fuel prices are high. i think the only nations with cheap fuel, are some in the mid east. and maybe a few socialist nations in south america

Ugh....how many times do I need to repeat myself? I am not afraid of riding. You can ask other members on this forum about that since I've ridden with quite a few people on this board. I've been in accidents and rode home after them with no problems (no nervousness, etc.). Like yama said, I am not trying to screw up my chance of being in the AF for three more months of riding. I have my whole life to get back on a bike. I do not feel it would be in my best interest to ride right now.

And, CptAwesome, you are wrong. I guess I should have phrased the statistic better. I live in the 3rd worst state for drivers.

Does that mean you live in the D.C. area?

I live in Baltimore....only an hours drive from DC.

Thank you for clarifying.

When you said, "I haven't rode my bike in fear of being in an accident." that can only be taken as you having a fear of getting on the bike. Can you see how we thought this?

When you said, "I know if I were to ride something stupid would happen" that is putting the mockers on yourself. Call it jinxing yourself if you like. Where your Negative Talk leads to fulfillment of the talk.

What I mean was exactly what I said, with what was thought to be a fear of riding combined with such negative self talk, it is unwise to ride a motorcycle.

However, you have now clarified it for us all.

Still waiting for the meal to begin  :thumb

I figure if I sell the bike I can make more money rather than just eating it.  I'm not much of a metal kind of guy.

I know I plan on getting another bike.  The GS is a good bike, but I just want something with a little more "oomph".  Once I get situated in the AF and come close to paying my car off, then I'll pick up another bike.  Unless, of course, I find a nice bike for cheap.
