I had my first kid a few years ago and had a 1985 vw with an engine swap with individual carbs and an Audi that had water damage and it finally started rearing is head after 7 years of ownership. With those I had a 96 ZX6R but I needed a reliable vehicle that was kid friendly. So I sold the bike and scraped the Audi and "bought" one. I have two kids now and another on the way and it just isn't top priority. Plus I have the ability to borrow shop bikes on most occasions.

I would assume “don’t currently own one” does not mean “I don’t ride”

Like me, my bikes were stolen!
