Out There Somewhere
Good advice everyone, and thanks. Maybe its just a phase, I found myself looking at maps and planning routes to Gettysburg, and checking the Blue Ridge Pkwy. brochure for distances and campground stops to continue on a springtime trip down to Asheville...
I think I will park it for awhile though, maybe I just need a break. I do find that the RT doesn't excite me very much, so that might be part of what's going on. While it's a great motorcycle for touring, it just doesn't have a lot of soul.
Anyway, thanks for the replies!
Yeah, riding a bike with some pizazz might help immensely. Of course you don't want to sacrifice too much comfort for trips, but maybe if you had another bike to rip around town on, or for day trips out into the local country lanes?
A late model (or vintage) Triumph would be great for this purpose... just to provide one example. Save the Big RT for distance riding and rallies. I was looking at (& drooling over) a new Triumph Sprint- but wound up with a 2002 K1200RS- because I knew my GF could/would ride on it, where I had no idea if she'd get on the Sprint. Maybe a Sport/Tourer would bring some excitement back into your ride? There are PLENTY of older bikes (and they don't have to be TOO old) for sale at any given moment. A late 90s or early 2000s model isn't going to break the bank, but might just renew the spirit.
