I miss my bikes the most.

I too miss riding. I got my minibike (gift) at 11, first motorcycle at 19, and sold my last one a few years ago. Just too scary with the distracted motorists, traffic, critters (I hit a deer once) and the general discomfort from aging body parts.

I test rode a BMW K1600GT last year, rode for about an hour, I really didn't hurt very much - great ergonomics - but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would. I didn't buy it, or anything else. Kind of sad.
