Lessening of opportunities to ride the thing, being brutally honest. Think I had only done 3000 miles on it in the 2 years I owned it.

I had a few other things going on which I needed to concentrate on, including the buy out of my business partner which was a very time consuming matter (but needed doing), and was also in the middle of adoption process (3rd child), which is something we I/we had planned for a number of years.

With these now sorted, and work seemingly seeing an improvement in general trading, whilst I don't expect to suddenly have loads of spare time for a bike, I quite like the idea of owning one again for the times that I do have some spare time & can just go out for a ride, whether that be on the road or track.
