See? Tomato gets it!

You aren't done. You're just on pause..... which is a good thing. But far from permanent. ::013::

BOOK A TRACK DAY!!!! Put that puppy thru its paces ::013::
Tony's Track Days is offering special events for ADV bikes, Tourers and Cruisers....I'll bet the ST would be a riot!

I'm getting away with this?

Basically I just made a case that you are NOT "done with the bike". And in fact, I tried to justify you spending $THOUSANDS more on it. :)

I've lost my literary mojo, apparently. (out of practice, I suppose)
Not at all. I COULD spend thousands more on it...I just don't need nor want anything. I'm nowhere near a place where I could contemplate a DC style trip, so those kind of Farkles would be a complete waste, and since I spend 99% of my time on road, a hinderance to the way I ride...

One day I'm gonna sit down and tally up how much I have spent on it (a pretty penny as my Mom would say) but nowhere near what some of you guys do...

And BTW, thus far, the suspension is the best (and biggest) Farkle money I've spent to date...hands down. The ECU flash would be second...

Have you upgraded the CCT and Clutch Basket. That is a Feel Good project you would notice every time you rode your PDP Blue 2012 Super Tenere.

New tires always make me appreciate the ride and handling of my PDP Blue 2012 Super Tenere. Ride north to find some twisty hilly roads that will rub the nubs off those new tires.

I don't think I've ever been here before...

Contentment with our bikes is something that many of us don't experience often. Try to enjoy it. Just ride the bike and be happy that you have the perfect motorcycle set up perfectly for you. Down the road if you ever decide you need or want a change , make it then. In the meantime just enjoy yourself.
