Reminds me again what you got?

I haven't been riding much lately. I used to ride motorcycles as a kind of "escape" and a way of relaxing. But the paperwork, etc of this acquisition has been so grueling, that I really don't have the energy to go riding lately. This too will pass.

Only times I've been riding lately have been when all of my shoes are too muddy for me to want them in the Subaru. And even that's been too much of a pain, so I'm driving the Subaru in sandals, which I really hate doing. I'm very anal about the exactly position of the wheel, seat, mirrors, and everything, and having sandals on just feels so wrong. If I'm driving far, I just take them off and drive barefoot.

My tentative plan, though, is to add about 10 bikes to the collection this winter while prices are down. Still not sure if I'll get a ZX14, but am very tempted. But definitely want to pick up some old ones.
