Someone Else's Problem: Like RdKetchup but with moar FREEDOM: altoid's FJ-08.5

I stopped posting here after multiple posts of mine got swallowed by the forum software, but it seems appropriate to share this: Nera the FJ is sold and I’m effectively retiring from motorcycling.

The primary reason is that my wife’s health has greatly reduced my risk tolerance, as my having even a broken leg and nevermind dying would be catastrophic for our family. This reality has firmly planted itself in my head, sapping most of the joy out of riding. I firmly believe a big part of riding is knowing when to park it, and for me that time is now. We’ll see what the future holds, but this is it until further notice.

The bike went to someone I’ve ridden with before, and I have great confidence she’ll get many miles of adventures out of it. It couldn’t have gone to a better home.

Enjoy the last few photos I took before the sale.
