Tough Bike...

Seemed fair to me and made me whole on the bike.

Not bad!!! What you gonna do now?

Not sure. Probably not going to run out and replace it until I sell off what is now an extra Harley touring bike and see what it's like to have just one bike for a while.

It's been 5 years since there were only two bikes in the stable., 10 since there was just one.

Definitely rethinking resuming the daily commute by bike. I've done that for 17 years and have been hit 4 times and lost 2 bikes ss a result. Drivers are worse than ever these days so not sure the juice is still worth the squeeze this close to retirement.

Can’t say that I blame you. If I had been hit 4 Times, I would probably call it quits before my luck runs out. Have you ever been hit on the bicycle?

It's the commute thing that's giving me pause; just too many distracted, aggressive and downright poor motorists out there anymore. Yes, back when I rode a bicycle to college and during lunch breaks at work I had a couple encounters. Lots of miles on two wheels in congested, urban areas is definitely more risky than the open road. But, then again, the collisions all seem to occur at slower speeds so there is a trade-off. I look at these brushes of bad luck like Earthquakes: I'd rather have a few little ones than the big one. Knock on wood.

You apparently were a cat in a previous life, and that "9 lives" charm carried over to your present earthly being. You have 5 lives left. Use 'em

Yeah, well... I'm not giving up motorcycles or bicycles. But, as I said, the commute thing: probably should have kept the S2000 in the stable!
