Because I can already feel a deficit in my life by not having a bike in the garage and knowing that when stress starts building up, I can gear up mount up and ride for a while to counter that stress. You don't think about your problems when you're riding. All my parts are just about back up to spec, left ankle range of motion is within maybe 10mm of the right in each movement and planar and dorsiflection strength and range of motion are good (the shifter lever movements). Doing 15 minutes in the stationary bike and 10 minutes on the stairmaster in the gym as cardio then hitting weight machines military press, upright seated bench press, seated bicep curl, standing tricep cable pull downs, and seated plate loaded lat pull machine. Then some Roman chair half situps (almost a crunch almost a situp). Some neck flexion work which has helped restore neck strength and head swivel from having been in the c-collar 10 weeks.
Trying to figure what will be next bike. Really intend to buy pre-owned this time. Moto Guzzi Norge a top contender. Wanting low tech, ability to DIY the serious maintenance like valve adjusts. My Ducati was heavy on tech and driveline & suspension electronic systems, they were all active, and I still wrecked upon encountering gravel on the blacktop-- think it had mainly to do with . . . . . . Being On Two Wheels.
Anyhow, the search is on.
