Been a while since I've logged in. I hope everyone has been doing well. Life's been hectic since my wife's last accident when she T-boned a car making a left turn in front of her. I just never seem to have any time to ride, and the bikes are all degrading and mostly non-running these days. Maybe one day I'll get them all running again and start riding.

Good man for nursing your wife back to health. I too am living the time crunch. I say drain fuel or at least fuel stab and battery tenders for all but the Paso or ST2 and ride only one until more time frees up. I have a couple of great 50-or-so mile rides near my home with some ridiculously tight turns that are always fun and easy/quick to do on a Sunday morning with a couple of friends every couple months. The key is keeping one bike ready to go. Riding is way too much fun to let it fall off your plate. Riding a Duck is very rehabilitative—more so than most vacations I can think of. I am very sure your wife would support your cutting out on a Sunday morning from time to time.

That looks like a fine collection of motorcycles a shame not to use them. Why not sell a few and use the money to get a mechanic to fix a few up? Sometimes it’s best to reduce the mountain before starting to climb it!
