Real shame you are selling her Cai, we have both been in the same conundrum with bikes over the years on here and i think we suit simillar stuff......felt the same way at times, just not enjoying it enough or struggling to get the time....but if i hung up the boots i know it would end up being another 10-15 years before i got the opportunity again.
Just that you got the bike so nice and it is a good'n....mind you the old noggyfighter wasnt bad either and it got stripped.......you just gotta do what's right at the time.
I pretty much have come to the conclusion that ill blow a few grand on biking each year......a bit of a waste some may say but if i enjoy it and i work hard then wont grudge myself it......of all the things ive tried it is the only one that i stick at each year...albeit more limited mileage this year.
But as you say you have some more hobbies & between them all you could end up spending allot of dosh and at the end of the day bikes are but machines.......replaceable even if perhaps regrettable in the future....ah well that's life.......but there's no point forcing the interest by doing lots of mundane half arsed miles......as you say...try something new and charcterful & different.......what i just did & it is pretty exciting.
I reckon you'll just wake up one day next summer and the weather will be perfect....you'll have no plans but be fresh & alert.......you will suddenly say to yourself "im buying another" 8)
Anyway good luck selling her, hopefully no messing around.....keep us updated.
Cheers

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
