Was your bike only a summer vehicle? I assume your winters are brutal in PA?

I'm not married and am under 40 so maybe this won't help... but I sold my 06 BMW K1200R in April and replaced it with a 370Z in May. I only rode streetbikes for the past 5 years and before that rode dirtbikes as I was from a farm.

I don't miss my bike yet, but unless I bought a super-exotic car I will never duplicate the acceleration/performance of my K1200R which had 163hp. On the other hand, while blindspots are bad in the Z coupe (N/A to the convertible!), I don't miss worrying about being in car blindspots on a bike...for driving in traffic I don't miss the bike at all.
