Putting the Cycle on Craigslist ...

[aspeck]

After over 25 years with the same cycle, I am going to say good-bye to it. I can't believe I am doing this, but have been to too many motorcycle accidents lately ... on Thursday was the one that broke the camel's back. Lost a neighbor to a motorcycle accident about 6 weeks ago, and now another neighbor is on life support and not expected to live. It seems that every week we (Fire Department) are getting called to another cycle v car/truck accident, and the cycle and cyclist aren't fairing very well. Worse this year than any year and Thursday's accident was as gruesome as I have seen. Enough to make me sell.

Maybe next year I will rethink this and get a smaller touring cycle instead of my Kawie Crotch Rocket. Time will tell. But for now, it is time to grow up and be cycleless!

Sold my Harley after 12 yrs of riding when I started my family and wrapped them in a 5750 lb Dodge truck instead. In simplest terms, survival of the biggest.

I feel for you, Art. I commuted on mid size touring bikes for several years during my immortal phase and kept a small woods bike for a few years after that.

I was very fortunate that mortality became apparent without trauma. Still miss my Super Hawk on some Spring days, though.

Sorry to hear you're giving up the two wheel freedom. I completely understand as I too stopped riding for a few years. Now it's the back way into work at a much more relaxed pace.

What will you be selling? I currently have a '93 Kawasaki ZR1100
