No but I do feel guilty for not washing my bike enough.

 

I've never felt guilty of not riding enough to just the cost of my bike. It's paid for and only cost insurance and maintenance. I do however feel guilty of leaving the kids behind sometimes, but there teenagers and have plenty to do without us being there.

 

No, but sometimes I feel guilty when I'm out riding on a Saturday while the rest of you are running errands or mowing lawns.

 

Last few years, most of my riding is for work. Paid to ride 200 miles a day, quite often. I haven't been touring, my vacation has been out in the woods.

Nice thing about riding to work, is I get ride during the nice part of day, especially in the fall when it gets dark early.

For me, it is fix.

Never. I washed one bike once this year at the car wash. Haven't waxed any of them since maybe 2010.

 

Just disappointed. Need truck for work usually so don't get to ride it during the work day.

 

+1 I have spent the better part of my entire life on a bike of some sort. Bicycle till the third grade, then minibikes till 7th grade then Honda 100 motorcycle and six more motorcycles after that. I am 57 so no i dang sure don't feel guilty for sitting in my easy chair on the weekends watching TV or reading on the HDForum.

 

No. That's a strange thing to feel guilt about.

 

Interesting question by the OP. I thought I was the only person who felt this way. Life just seems to get in the way of riding for me.

When working around the house I often hear the unmistakable sound of a bike going down the road nearby and I can't help but feel frustrated (and a bit envious) that I am not out there as well. Heck, even at night while in bed I will hear that sound and can't help but smile that I too have a bike.

Just this weekend I was working in the garage and there she sat, all alone, begging to go riding. I have to admit that I gave in a few times and went over to her, sat on her and just took in the feel of sitting on her.

As summer flies by, I feel even more guilty that I haven't gone riding as much as I would have liked to this summer. In a few months winter will be here and PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome) will kick in.

 

yeah, what she said. I keep telling myself I want to ride to work more, but the damn traffic.... if I leave in the morning by 6:30, the ride into Dearborn is good. but the evening traffic doesn't clear up until after 7:00 p.m., especially with the I-275 closure tangling up all of the north-south main roads.

I like riding. I don't like standing in stopped traffic with a Big Twin roasting my chestnuts. I'd rather save the riding for the weekend when I can easily spend hours on two wheels, enjoying the ride.

 

That's funny. Feeling guilty for not riding enough, bwahahahaha !
