The very worst part is I think of selling my streetbike that I've had for 40,000 miles now and love to commute to work on when the weather is nice but worry that I might get taken out by some errant driver someday and I wouldn't be able to go fishing or boating anymore.
The very worst part is I actually thought of selling my snowmobile that I now have 5,600 miles on so I can put more money towards all the boat/fishing expenses and so I won't worry about going through the ice or getting taken out by some yahoo coming around the corner on my side of the trail.
The very worst part is I think of selling my CR500R for all the same reasons as the streetbike and dirtbike. It is getting to that point where I'm getting older and both my body and mind are telling me that I need to either think about giving these things up or really actually give all the things up that brought me so much joy in the past because I now think they might be dangerous and cost me money that I could put towards boating/fishing. Is this crazy thinking or what?
The very best part is that the boating/trailering/fishing is easy on the body and while bodily threat still exists, I think it would be way lower than with streetbiking, dirtbiking or snowmobiling. I think that would be un-argueable.
I never thought I'd even think of these things but I have. Could be getting older or it could be the true love I feel for the boating and fishing part of life that has a stronger draw on me now than ever before. I think I'll keep the toys as I have them, they all work very well and with a minimum of maintenance as I've gotten good at the maintenance and especially with using them so they don't break. I don't think I have to make any rash decisions too soon, but I really think that with my love of fishing and boating being so strong now, I just may give some of my loves in life up someday.
Gee, imagine what my thinking might be like if I ever have kid(s)?
