Sooooo I'm trying to decide if I should keep my motorbike or sell it. I've had it since new in September 2011, but it's only done 9,000kms since then and I haven't ridden it in the last 3 months. I own it outright, so it doesn't really cost me all the much to keep it sitting on the garage...but I can't help think the money I'd get from selling it would be better off being used to pay off the GT, rather than being tied up in a motorbike I don't ride...hmmmm...

What sort of bike you riding?

[Never had any say Panda]

How's it going angel..

And stripes.. I vote keeping the bike cause in 6 months you'll want to ride again..

Selling my bike.. Worst mistake ever..

Wait no rephrase.. Getting married was the worst mistake ever and she made me sell my bike and my WRX..

[.Stripes.]

It's a Triumph Daytona 675R Tex.

Great bike Stripes, I have a mate who has one but it's set up for track days only, he loves it !

Just a thought , maybe sell it and buy a enduro bike with a motard set up.

The most fun you can have with your pants on.

I go off-road riding with some mates(great for fitness) and then we fit motard wheels and go out looking for the tightest, ugliest corners we can find (roundabouts are fun)

Should have done it years ago!!!

Same boat as Stripes

Have only put the helmet on a few times in the last 18 months, but am loathe to offload the bike because it isn't costing me anything and I know full well how hard it would be to grab another further down the track.

Will make a concerted effort to get it out as soon as the weather turns a bit better and re-ignite the interest/passion.

Was a lot easier when I was driving the Pajero. With the XR6T I'm finding my needs for a bit of acceleration and fun are mostly being sated without having to don the leathers.

Howdy Panda all good here hows your end?

Stripes that's a keeper mate only if you can. I know what you guys are going through I did the same when I sold my GT Cobra didnt want to but happy wife happy life............LMFAO sad day when it left.

All good mate, I'm 27 on Friday. Kinda at the point where I know if I don't sort my shìt out now I'll screw my chance for being healthy when I'm older...plus I'm sick of feeling uncomfortable in my own body. I've previously dieted and exercised hard for a couple of months but then burnt out and CBF. The dietician was really good, she said don't worry so much about exercise etc right now, my priority needs to be getting my meal plans sorted. She said that I'll find once I'm giving my body all the stuff it needs I'll have more energy and be in a better head space and then the exercise will come.

Striper, I hit mid 20's and pigged up deluxe. I was a skinny( sinewy)bastard until then. What ever exercise/activities you enjoy stick with them.

I got married and stopped playing squash, cut down on martial arts,exercise overall, etc focused on career and making money. for the family.

Uncle Buf says one thing, it goes on easy and it's a bastard to get rid of. You don't want to end up being called a farkin big thing

if you can avoid it early.

^^^ I'm turning big five O this year and also need to lose a few kgs.

I found my biggest enemy is Carbs.

If I get on the stir frys and stay off the rice, potatoes, pasta and bread then the weight falls off pretty quick, about 1-2 kgs a week.

But the real killer for me is that as soon as I start doing anything physical , my Body starts screaming out for Carbs!

And I end back up putting weight on.........sucks!
