I kept thinking that, kept having dreams about being on a bike again. Finally, I test drove a used Vulcan 900 and felt at home on it. VERY at home. In a few days, I had a new 2021 Vulcan 900.
I was searching - for what I do not know, I guess I was looking for the feeling I had when I drove my first Crossfire Roadster in 2009.
I now have three 9's.

THIS is not how you live within your means. THIS is how you live BELOW your means, but enjoy every minute of it.

I wish you nothing but good times and safe rides
I'm pretty sure I'll never be back to riding again but then who knows in a few more years I will be retiring and moving somewhere south from Illinois
Not sure where yet but somewhere less congested than Chicago suburbs
We do have nice open land just west from where I currently live but just straight roads and farm houses surrounded by corn fields.
Relaxing rides but boring as well.
Now you need to remind yourself that you need to remain living where you are to enjoy all it has to offer for the years to come
