Like a wolf that hears the call of others....
After my divorce back about 15 years ago, I was a free man and I used all my free time. Every weekend I was out on my bike both nights of the weekend until the wee hours of the morning. Throughout the week, I was home only about half the time with the other half at someone else's house. So, the point is, for a number of years when it was night, I was out partying and playing.
Now days I am married to a women I love, and have a little 4 yr old girl who I am blessed to have, so evenings I am a family man home with my girls...I love it. However, many a night I lay in bed and hear a bike in the distance and I wonder where is that rider off to. The "call of the wild" beckons and even though I would not trade my life I have now, I can still remember those late night/early morning rides coming back from a fun night. (if I came back that night at all)
Anyway, anyone else ever go through something like this?

that sounds like my early-mid 20's.. miss it all the time.i met my wife who had a 10yo at the time.i was literally out parting every nite to a family man a day later. i have been out to a bar or riding the nite away a dozen times since i met her 8 years ago, usually home by 10. truck driving is a real close second, only you can still remember where you were the nite before, and it is a little less expensive. the road has been calling real loud lately.

Yeah, about 5 million or so men a day. When you hear that bike in the distance while laying in bed, turn your pillow over to the cool side, reach over, cup your wife's butt cheek in your hand, realize that little girl in the next room is safe and warm, and count your blessings.

It's a balancing act, ride when you can are you are still ahead of the game!

In the middle of the night, I can hear the highway about 1/2 mile away. Many, many times I'll hear a Harley motoring along and wonder where it's going to or coming from. Yeah, I get a little pang of envy.
