I had great times on all those bikes. If you're like me, you'll need to find a way to fill that void you'll find when the bike is gone. I picked up a sporty yet economical car and I'm about to get into road bike riding. It took a few months, but now when I see sport bikes on the road I wish them safety – or I cuss at them under my breath if they don't wear there helmet.

Whatever you do to fill the void, be safe and have fun.
