No known cure for this serious condition. Some recommend
studying farkle catalogues during periods of inactivity to reduce symptoms.

Look, let's not beat around the bush, here. This is a chronic problem and this is the "new" normal. I got my first motorcycle in 1964 and still cannot get enough. You may as well get used to it.

Maybe you should move to So. Cal. I ride all year long and get really bummed out if it rains on a weekend.
I can't imagine going an entire winter without riding.
Come to think of it, its about time to zip my inner liner into my jacket.

Thumbs up there is no coming back

Hi all and thanks for your support, Just got back from a 1000km loop. no sore butt, back and shoulders are all good. Cant say the same for the GSXR 1000 that is now up on wheel stands and covered with a soft sheet. My next mission is about a 3000km loop and i leave on new years day and return 9 days later. First service is done, tyres are scrubbed in to the edge and I now have just about finished fitting the GS out with all the necessary racks, bags, gps, Air Hawk seating. have tent and all the requirement to stay away from civilisation for a while. There is no going back to normal and so be it...
