I have owned a few bikes before but after I was in a hit and run in 2016 I decided the risk wasn’t worth it. I owned two bikes after the hit and run but I didn’t enjoy it in the same way.
3 years later from when I sold my last bike, I bought my first new vehicle ever, a 2023 KLRs.
Stay safe, you can’t live your life scared but always be cautious. Super excited for all the adventures ahead.
Man I miss my bike, I moved to an area with extreme inclement weather and no garage to keep a bike clean and dry during the winter.
Have fun and ride safe.
Get a bike cover! I have my dual sport in the backyard under a $25 Amazon bike cover and it stays pretty clean. Spiders set up shop under there, but they’re easily dealt with.
