To answer your question though - why does it have to have a motor?

to be honest..I don't know....I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt...I don't know if I'm hungry, or if it's nerves....I just don't KNOW anything right now. But in the event I have something come to me...I was going to use this thread as a reference point and info to help educate my next move....if there IS one.

I DO KNOW....the hard core railing I did on the road is over.....I got the motard thinking the speed would decrease from that of the R1/TLR..etc thus lowering the potential danger factor....but in actuality I'm 2x as fast thru the tight stuff (think deals gap) that I EVER was on the TLR or the R1....I frickin FLEW thru the corners on those bikes. And now with THIS.....at JUST 50-60 rounding a 25 mph corner carries JUST too much risk for me any more.

That doesn't say that I won't take the motard to the track now.....even though it's limit is 105....I think I can still have fun at the smaller tracks like CMP..so that’s also an option

Also don't know about the BMW.....I got it to ENJOY riding....slow.....and with the wife occasionally. Maybe I just keep IT and chill.

At any rate..no decision can be made for a while....not going to MAKE that call anytime soon...just collecting information on alternatives.

To answer your question though - why does it have to have a motor? Horseback riding, hiking, etc etc. all have their own thrills as well.

Those are the things I am going to do.

Simple answer: I'm a man

that’s why

I hike....I canoe...I'm a big outdoors person already, but nothing can replace suck squeeze bang blow.....nothing. I'm a man that has to take stuff apart and "Tim Taylor" it constantly. And a horse torn apart in the garage....well that'd just be messy.

If it has a motor and tires...I'm all about it....and just can't foresee ever being without something to tinker with that doesn't have those things

Miata wouldn't work for Troy; he has testicles.

if you're going to cars I would go with used corvette, camaro, or mustang. they're fun as hell to drive and very capable racers. Yes they will do the prerequisite burn out very well.

before jumping I would give it time first. it is just the normal grieving process. as your friend becomes more of a "great times together" memory rather then "worst day of my life" memory that haunts you now, getting back into your normal routine will become easier.

very sorry to hear about your loss.

if you got a big enough "tool" who needs ballz..........lol or a monster truck for that fact......

If you need something to turn and squirt with, try an Ariel Atom. You can put it together and put any engine you want in it. Junkyard ecotech 4 with the supercharger....

The only problem is price.
Atoms are big freaking money now.
