You are right. Spend as much time with the family as you can. The kids grow up fast. When they are on their own you can take the MSF and start rideing again.  Good Luck

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Count Desmo [beer]  My salutations.  Stop by the DMF once in a while, this place will always be here for you. You are a brave man.

If it were a concern, why didn't you quit when your daughter(s) were born? If it's a concern now, why wasn't it a concern then?

No value judgment, just a question.

I've raised two wonderful kids who have ridden with me a million times. I know scoots are more "dangerous" than cars, but when your numbers up, it's up.

I can't say I don't know understand at least to a point, as the same thought has crossed my mind too.

You will be missed around here.

Good luck, godspeed and congratulations on living up to your promises.  [thumbsup]

I too gave up biking years ago for similar circumstances.

...the kids are grown up, and I'm back riding now ...and no doubt when your kids leave the nest, you will ease back into riding again.

Good luck

It's always been a concern.  This has been a 4-year conversation, which will end when I fulfill my promise.  I'll miss you all, too.

I don't know if this is the same thing or just sort of the same thing. I have only one living family member and that's my 3 year younger brother whom I share a residence with. After I had my crash in April he told me that if I ever rode again he was leaving . He expects that if I ride again the next phone call he will get will be to come identify the body and he can't live with that thought. I love to ride.I love my brother. I'm not giving up riding. ...Jeremy I understand you made a promise and you would be less a man not to keep your promise. Enjoy the family for all you can and one day if it's to be you'll be back in the saddle. We'll miss you 'til then.

As for the reason, my hat is off to you with much respect.  You are a good man!  (so....lets talk about that mini van you will be selling)
If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.
