The trouble with bikes is that, if you are a true 100% Biker it sits deep in your soul......

you've sold stuff, stole stuff, gone without stuff, broken promises, missed important dates, lied to people ect, just so you can go and get that fix, you're an addict.... you sit and think about all the places you are gonna go on the damn thing, imagining far away perfect roads.... wet or dry you don't care, as long as you're on ya Bike....

I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't do but that 2 wheel pal of mine has cost me soooo much over the years, but without it I know i would be utterly miserable... I'm one of those daft buggers that'll go down the shed in the winter when the snow's thick on the ground, with a cuppa.... and sit on my Tuono and remember the great rides of the summer and think about the new ones to come....

From the moment I first slung my leg over a Honda PC 50 moped... I knew..

Life is all about Bikes... it always has been and always will.... because when I'm riding my Bike everything is right with my life.

But Al, you seem between a rock and a hard place.

Tough decision and one which I don't envy.

Must say  would win with me, but never been faced with such a situation.

Clearly her ultimatum is borne out of love for, and desire to be with, you.

Whatever decision you make - don't regret it.  There are always different chapters in life, no failures, and stuff happens for a reason.

Wow... Just read this thread... I'm so sorry to hear about all this.

The reason for my post is that I was back near Grenoble last weekend for a wedding and I came across a section of road that I know quite well and often has deer and boar running across it. They have now put up a deer detection system ! Incredible! 

Then I found this about it after a spot of googling:

I really hope it works.... There have been many accidents on that stretch...
