Convince Me Not To Sell!!!

[Thorpiticus]

I'm with Pete: 358 miles in two months? Why own a bike? That is just under 6 miles a day, or in some cases here, a mere two weekends out for some folks.

I'm not trying to be an arse or sarcastic, just plain honest. Why do you own a bike if you're not riding it? Thanks!!

It's a perfectly fair question! To be honest, I bought the bike because I wasn't racking up much mileage and felt dumb lugging a 3400lb. car around on a 5 mile commute. I ride for pleasure, but never more than 30 or 40 miles at a time. It's not at all that I don't love motorcycling, it's just all I can fit in to my schedule.

I still think a bike is the best solution to my commuting and performance needs. I also still think the FZ is the best bike for me and probably always will be- again because of my style and needs. I guess I'm tempted to try something new while I have the opportunity and can probably break even on the FZ.

I'll be undecided until next week when I can really get a good ride in on the Trumpy, but I really appreciate all the comments and input. If (and that's still a big if) I do decide to sell, you guys will be the first to know! (But can I still come and play on the forums? Please??)

You're ALWAYS welcome here even if you sell the FZ. Thanks for the answer! So, how about getting up earlier and taking the "long" way to work, then taking a longer route home? I do this often with my 12 mile commute. Some days it becomes a 60+ mile ride home. :thumbup:
