Default The bug!

Man, I do not know what it is, nor why I am even posting about it, but I gotta let it out!!! I have ridden a bike for over 16 years straight(I am 32 now) and I have never had the bug so bad. Maybe it is just the 1200N, but I think about it all day long. I ride it every day, but that is not enough. I saw an add once for a box fan with handlebars and mirrors called "spring fever!" Thinking I may have to get one for the office...LOL

My wife calls my bike "The other Woman" I put 15,000 miles on the bike in the first year. And there were only a couple of trips over 200 miles in that time.

Yeah...I know the Spring fever thing....even the cold of winter couldn't cure it.

Maybe instead of playing "Walk, Don't Run" on that Mosrite you should be playing "Ride, Don't Walk."

I sure know what your going through.

I just rolled 650 miles on my new Nightster and I got it a10 days ago.

I'll probably roll up close to 750 by the time the evening is over. Gotta go.

LOL, yeah tell me about it. I have a lovely family, with 3 boys ages 5 and under... so they are my priority, but a man can day dream right?
