Paul-Kent Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've not been out on my bike for several weeks as I've lost the interest and don't know how to get motivated again.I have this week off which would be ideal for getting some miles clocked up but I really can't be arsed to plan a run out.Perhaps it's time to sell up....

Fozzie Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've had a big knock to the mojo in recent times. I get a good blip when I go out and thrash the thing but otherwise I'm quite bored almost of riding. For me it could be a bike thing, a few years back I was on limited edition RR's and similar, then after thefts, and numptys crashing into me I'm now uninsurable on high end, and popular bikes so I've had to opt for a less popular bike. It has exceeded my expectations but I still find it all a bit simple.Got out on the HP4 not long back and it was a wicked experience, but can't really rely on that as it's one of the best road bikes going, so if it takes that much to interest you, there is something that needs fixing.I'm moving into a new house soon, with its own big garage. I think it's time to get a project bike and spend more time fixing than riding. I seem to love bikes more when I fix them or do something to them before riding. Which isn't easy now as I live a couple of minutes walk from the garage the bike is kept in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
