Longest you have been without riding

[Conzar]

Since having my accident in November and my bike being scrapped, im still bike-less, the whole feeling is killing me to the point where i am just feeling down about the situation, anyone else had something like this?

Shit happens, and sometimes other stuff can take priority. Longest I've been without a bike is just over 3 years.

2 years! I couldn't afford all of the repairs my bike needed to it stood for 2 years until I finally regained a suitable standard of living.

Longest 2 years of my life but as mentioned above, shit happens. You'll get over it and when you eventually do get back on it'll feel even better due to the enforced break you've had.

To be fair you're probably feeling worse due to the awesome weather we've been having. Don't stress though, there'll be more awesome weather and by the time that happens, you'll probably have a bike sorted!

Three months after writing off my Buell. I have had periods where I've not ridden for two or three weeks, or even a month at a time if the weather is bad, but when I couldn't do any riding or spannering or even playing computer games, it got a bit tiresome.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I had a 12 year break after becoming disillusioned following 8 years as a despatch rider. I could not even look at a bike after that, but after a career change and a 10 year break, the itch started again. I decided not to buy another bike immediately in case it was just a bit of nostalgia, but the itch got worse over the next 2 years and I finally had to get back on 2 wheels in 2011. Still loving it and wont ever be without a bike again, now.

[Rogerborg]

During my recent bike juggling, there was a day when I had one non-runner, one bike that wasn't being MOT'd until the next morning, and one that had sold and was awaiting collection and I couldn't in all good conscience ride it.

I'm not going to lie to you, man, I stared into the abyss on that day, and it changed me. Thousand yard stare man, you weren't there, you don't understand.

[-Matt-]

Started riding nearly 7 years ago, have had two 3-month bikeless stints.

First was between selling my 125 and getting my ZX6 as i needed to get the cash from the first for the latter.

Second was the winter before last, battery died on the ZX6, weather was shite, didn't bother replacing it for a few weeks for the odd couple of days i would of gone out on the bike.

Hopefully never again

[Ste]

No riding since October 2008.

[Blau Zedong]

About 6 months after passing my car test then being made redundant all in the same month.
