this. Sometimes I just get lazy and am smart enough to know that "Lazy" = bad on a motorcycle.

Yeah. I just won't ride without the proper gear on. I've crashed. I know the benefits of it. So if I feel lazy I just roll in the Jeep with the AC cranked.

I got bored with riding a few years ago. All my regular riding buddies got rid of their bikes, and left me high and dry. So I'm all alone, nobody to ride with and it does get boring.

This. I'm also tired of riding the same old roads all the time, especially since they're largely straight & flat here.

If I were still living in New Brunswick, I'd likely have quit riding or gone to dirt. I have no problem riding alone, but I would never stand for straight roads.

Our roads are not in the best shape, but they're far from straight. You make it sound like Florida or something.

If you get bored just everyday riding....maybe it's time to "ramp it up"

How do you get to anywhere from our home town? Straight on the highway for 30-40 minutes. That's too long to get to twisties.
