This may just be november blues, however, ive recently brought a new (to me) 5k bike and used it 3 times! Because i walk to work the car goes out once a week for the family shop and im left trying to find places to go on the bike once a week, even when ive decided to go somewhere if the weather is a bit meh i tend not to go out as im a bit ott on getting it dirty as it is an expensive purchase to me.
I might be overthinking it but have two expensive assets with all the running costs involved just sitting there all week seems like a waste of money.

Anyone ever given up biking for any reason?

right the conclusion is i need a new bike or new tyres, ive gone from an a2 sports bike to a big(ger) naked, im currently on pirelli phantoms and im thinking pilot 2s will increase my grip and make me like the bike again, do i need to change my riding style for a naked?
