A cracking song by The Manic St Preachers but more accurately what I feel concerning my bike and biking in general. I used my bike socially once last year and probably 5 times to commute to work.(140 mile round trip). Although I don't think selling it is an option but I need to find my biking mojo again. I fear I may be heading the way of a bobber type bike I can pootle around on. Help.

Get whatever bike YOU want...if it's a Blobber then so be it...we all experience a bit of mojo loss...but it generally comes back home to roost...or just give yourself a kick up the arse.

Welcome to January (well, February).....

I had a good look at the Adventure in the garage wearing its Arrow zorst and the smile was still there.

I'm staying bike keen trying to find a bargain future classic.....

I was out on mine on Sunday for 3 hours or so, that's how I keep up the mojo :-)

Try something different.

Blag a test ride, hire a trail bike.

Change is as good as a rest.

I miss my bike, and come Spring I am going to be unbearable, keep the bike, enjoy the moments no matter how brief they may be.

I've felt the same for a while but can't sell the bike because I know I'll never be able to afford another one.  Keep it - you'll feel worse without one!

I sold my old Gixxer as I needed the money to pay for my stepson's expensive school trip and whilst I don't regret doing it for that reason, I should really have found a way to keep it. The 2 year gap between owning bikes killed me.

Yep, it was my ring tone a few years ago, when such things were acceptable.

Sold the Daytona to clear debt, which has gone well. I've now decided I'm going to broaden my horizons and go travelling for 6-24 months which is requiring more hard saving. I know it's all going to be worth it but god I miss having a bike! Little did I know I was going to sell the bike before the best summer I have ever seen!

Miss my bikes, miss looking at and tinkering with them. Miss my mates, trackdays, holidays etc. I think time away from bikes has really made me realise how much I miss the lifestyle.
