After many years of biking, it feels boring now!
Yes I said it and you read it right!
Yes I've been having a withdrawl from biking due to many reasons.
I wont crib about it but am looking ways to rejuvinate it again. You see I am a person who is easily fed up with things over time and biking seems to be the latest victim!
I sat down and tried to find a way to get over my withdrawl. There are many factors which include the pathetic mud slugging in the biker groups. The reason being I am a group rider and dont like solo much. Also there is my underpowered bike, rising fuel costs. These are some of the reasons why many of my friends have withdrawn from the group but continue solo riding. I am sure many people will be able to relate to this if they belong to the groups I support.
So I wreaked my unused brain for some alternate ways to kill this gremlin to reach BIKING NIRVANA again!
About alternatives here are some of them i found feasible for me
1) Buy a bigger engined bike, get a GPS, pick up my camera and go solo.
2) Chuck the bike, pick up my camera and use public transport to explore places
3) Gang up buddies, pick up my camera and hire a vehicle and explore new places.
Of the above 3 the top most one is no fun for a guy like me! The second one seems to be a bit ok, the third one being the best!
But here are the cons
1)With no company you might start talking to every tree and rock on the way!No freedom to explore places on foot if you go solo, whoz gonna watch over your luggage?!
2)Public transport usage denies you the luxury of stopping and taking pics and exploring places on the way.
3)In a gang there are many people who have different personalities and each one wants to go a different direction. Which is fine when on bikes but not so on a common transport!
4) The biggest con of all "PLANNING", for all the above options planning is essential!
After all these years of unplanned exploration I am not going to give up the option of going on a planned trip anymore.
So i call out to all bikers ditch your egos and be re-born bikers again!
There are loads of places to be explored and loads of fun to be had!

Hmm, I guess it's all in one's head. I guess it's something like a mid life crisis. I feel the best thing to do is go with the flow and take things as they come by. Regarding your choices etc, i guess you need a kick on your bum to get back to riding with me :P You sir, are just thinking too much about too many things!
Just come for a ride and chill maadi, you will get back the groove i tell you!
Amen to Vasanth's thoughts :)
