Default Good Bye to the 929RR

Well fellas I am giving up on the old 929RR....My wifey just had another child three months ago and I think its about that time to hang the helmet. I have to save the risks(far too many!!) for when they are 18 and hopefully on their own! Then it will be play time! I will still frequent the boards of course. Will miss the rush and speed/handling of a motorcycle. Good luck out there guys and as always ride safe. I have had my share of close calls!

I'm sure that was not an easy decision to make, but it's a good one. I think my riding days will be restricted to track only once my wife and I have a child.

A baby brings along extra finances.

If you could just pick up a cheaper bike and the insurance cost for the year should cover a couple track days.
