[QUOTE="pmspaul, post: 1163540, member: 18826"] Interesting word you and Mr. Earls use, selfish. That's exactly how I felt. Heading into October last year, my wife and I were certain we would be entering the 2015 IBR draw. My 2nd closest friend on earth suffered a series of strokes and died that month. He was a year older than me and left his 9yr old boy behind. I thought about things for a while and decided that I'd save some of these more "selfish" things for later in life. I've already gotten to do a lot since the LD bug bit me. Lots of great rallies, a couple small cert rides, a 48+ I'll never forget. But for now, I'm putting family stuff first and my big LD plans farther down the list. If we can swing it, we'd like to do the Void rally again in Oct., for fun. Truth be told, I have yet to swing a leg over my FJR this year. I need to remedy that. That wasn't a conscious choice, just the way life has gone with no rides or rallies planned. So I know what the urge to ride can be like... [/QUOTE]
