When I take a step back

And look at the past year I am sad to say that I have come to the difficult decision to sell my beautiful motorcycle. I guess just about anyone who is reading this probably knows that I had to have surgery on my neck for the second time in 9 years last November. The surgery has not left me with the result I had hoped for and now that I am still having to live with pretty much constant pain in my neck and upper back I hardly ever ride my FZ at all any more.

I bought the bike about 14 months ago after first seeing one like it at the International Motorcycle Show the year before. It was love at first sight for me and I knew at that moment that I would one day have one. I purchased the bike new from Lawrenceville Honda Yamaha and I also purchased several accessories to make it both more comfortable and more powerful. The end result was (for me) the perfect mix of style comfort and performance. It has been very hard for me to come to this decision but seeing it sitting there in the garage every day and not being able to ride (especially now that the weather is so nice) is really a lot worse then passing it off to someone who will get to enjoy the ride. And I guess if things improve with my neck, and I feel like I can get back in the saddle, I can always try again later. Who knows, maybe they will come up with something even better then my beloved FZ down the road.
