S'funny, on Sunday I was thinking the GZ was feeling neglected, so I took it out for a nice 70 mile ride through the hills and canyons past good ol' Cook's Corner on down to Laguna Beach and came back up Pacific Coast Highway. Didn't know it would pretty much be my last ride. :cry: It was sad to watch it head off down the street, but the new owner seemed very pleased. So I'm back down to a one-bike garage. That's a good thing. I think.

Now that you an OC Hoosier are done, I feel like it's time for me to get going. I just can't get motivated to deal with the public.

The public's not that motivated either. I've had mine on Craigslist for months. My registration was due next month ($93! Sheesh) so I finally just decided to take the next offer that was anything like reasonable. Oh well. A young guy bought it for his mom (who's been wanting a bike for a long time) as a first street bike. It was the perfect size for her, and she seemed very excited, so that made me feel better about it.

Young guys buying motorcycles for their Mom's... Times have certainly changed.

Over here it costs me 12 euros ($16?) a year. :)

I really haven't been putting a lot of miles on my GeeZer here lately either, and have been keeping it on the battery tender most of the time. She makes a great second bike.

If a rider pal comes over without a bike, we use it as a backup ride. I've put as many as 200 miles on mine in a day and that's more than enough for a GeeZer.

My Street Glide is my main bike and I've done 500+ miles in a day on it and that too, is enough. I find myself driving the car only in inclement weather.

She's my GZ, and I think I'll keep her. :puke:

Yeah, I got to get mine on the tender. (Still sitting in the plastic packaging from Amazon.)

I can relate to that. Removed the plastic AFTER the Vstrom battery was beyond help. :cry:

Oh, so sad. I cannot even imagine giving up my "Singer". Yes, named after the sewing machine. And, yes, I know I am a total dork for having so named her, or at all. Whatever! (Whew! THAT whole talk amongst myself was exhausting.) Anyway, people wonder why I hold on to the bike with my other two and I just can't explain it. I love that little beast.

Well, I'm down to two, and I think that's about right. Both easy to maintain, easy to ride, and fun! If I've got one apart on a really nice day, I can ride the other one.

I've got 2 Harleys and I dont see myself getting rid of the GZ anytime soon. As long as it keeps on being dependable, I use it daily for running around town and my daily 2 mile commute to work. Plus its always available for friends to borrow when there bikes are broke. Ive already had 2 people take there road test on it. Its costing me next to nothing to keep it on the road and I know I'de be sorry if I got rid of it.
