I had to sell my first bike (1971 Honda cb750four) in 1999 to pay for a college that I later dropped out of. I have since bought the bike back. I went without a bike, bumming rides on my friends bikes until about five years ago when my wife bought me my 2000 Honda shadow, which I bobbed, and then sold last april for my Speedmaster. Ya'll know the feeling. Getting back on a bike that you own. I didn't realize how much it meant to me until I got back on it. I put 6000 miles on my Speedmaster since april (it's been a crummy year in the OKC weatherwise) and had logged 40,000 on my shadow over the last 2 years. While my truck has gotten about 6,000 put on it in the same amount of time. I usually drive the truck in the ice, or just to make sure the motor doesn't freeze up. I love to ride. Not just on long rides, but around the city, to work, and just to lunch or dinner.
God forbid something happen to my wife. I would wind up a drifter on the back of a bike. Working at a job just long enough to get the gas money to go to the next place.
