I hear ya.
I think all my buddies have all since sold off their scooters. Some due to getting into Razors/ATVs; some because their kids are now in sports etc. I think just myself, and my brother are the only ones left that still ride out of a group of probably 8-10 of us who use to ride damn near every weekend. Though, I only rode twice since april of 2018. I always say life comes at you in waves / cycles. there was a period of time of probably 5 years, where it just worked out where I always had a ton of time.
last 2 years changed it up on me; big work project, moved/new house etc. next thing I knew ...bam....I hadn't ridden in 2 years. my goal this year was to get some work / life balance back; and get back into a hobby that made me happy. last 2 years has been all work and no play. I know one day, the time will come where the riding days will be over. My wife wanted me to get a new Panigale because since we've started dating 20 years ago, a Ducati has always been my lust. She sad 'get a Ducati this time before your body is too old...you can always get another Harley"
