Been so tied up with other priorities that I literally haven't ridden a mile the whole year, and probably only about 100 miles the second half of last year. I would be riding to/from work but have no headlights. I bought new hella headlights but haven't had time to fabricate a bracket and get it done. I've started the bike probably 4 times this year and it fires right up every time, like it's praying I'm going to take it for a spin... Hell one of the times I rode it around the grass in the back yard for a couple laps just to screw around. I even thought of selling it at one point, but I soon realized one day I'll be caught up and will have time to ride.

I'm just having some 2 wheel withdrawals....don't mind me...
 
I know hoe you feel. Been so busy at work I haven't had a chance or it's been raining when I do. Oh, I had such plans this year... But I have been able to tinker with her some. That helps alittle.
 
Now I don't feel so bad! LOL Other than the miles put on the bike at the Dragon in April, I've put about 15 miles on it. Job/family/life etc. just takes priority sometimes and this year seems to be worse than before for some reason...Not to mention the excessive rain we've been getting. I hope we all find a break to get out there and reconnect with our bikes! Be safe when you do!
 
I don't get a lot of long ride time in, but I've been trying to get each bike out at least every other week and rip around town a bit in the evening at a minimum. Last year I went all of July and didn't ride once, was almost ready to sell. I feel your pain.
 
If it wasn't for commuting to work I would be in the same boat. When I ride to work I take a less direct and more scenic route that gives me about 54 mile round trip as opposed to the 29 mile direct route when I drive the cage. Have to get it out and show off my 50dro frame and axle sliders. Even sporting my 50dro t0shirt today! [cool] Work, family, yard work, honey do list, kids,...
 
lol!

Well I'd be riding to work daily but without headlights it's tough. I leave for work around 5am...

Should get the headlights done in the upcoming months. Then back to normal. I hope!

One thing's for sure, after missing the dragon this year, I'm committed to going next year.
 
Single dad, two kids, travel for work, no commute.. . I feel your pain. Takes me months to do things I would have done in a day or two before work, children, etc. Hard to find time to ride. I have only put on maybe hundred or two hundred miles on mine this year.
 
Haven't ridden once in the last year, either. Killed the bike's insurance policy and set it up for storage as best as I could. Work >90hrs/wk on average. Between my work schedule and a 2 year old kid, just can't justify taking the time to go ride. Easier/safer to blow off steam by working out, baking bread, and playing music.

I feel your pain.
