[QUOTE="Toynut, post: 421039, member: 370"] One of the best ways to "keep your toes in the moto pool" was already mentioned here. Find an old, lightweight 70's bike to restore as a hobby/project. Even if you decide to simply sell it (or keep it for your child as a project of love) when it's done, you will still get much of the satisfaction and fulfillment of a job well done. The old bike show circuit may be a very enjoyable way to share this new passion with a new circle of friends, too. I know of a local man who does not ride, but, has a serious hobby of restoring pristine Honda monkey bikes and SL70s. His logic is that he is able to keep his hands busy, makes a nice little side income for his time, and most importantly, it gives him great satisfaction handing the keys to others after completion, even though he knows few of his restorations will ever see the dirt trails again. My wife enjoys riding pillion with me on my FJR, and, while she would not ride even a bicycle on her own, she enjoys riding ATVs when we gets the chance (she is your age). Sometimes a change of venue is all that is required. I am sure you are making the correct decision based on your current set of circumstances. Who knows what the future holds? [/QUOTE]
