Update: I’m sober now...And the feels are hitting me like a hammer. A part of me just wants to hop on the Buell and ride towards the West Coast until I reach it, it breaks, or I run out of money, which ever happens first.

As much as I try my best not to think about it, I keep coming back to thinking that everything good in life will never last forever. And for some, those good things will be lost sooner than later. I sorta feel this is karma for breaking the hearts of three women that didn’t deserve it before I met him. Agh...I just want to sleep. Maybe seeing my ex as a bestie on Saturday will help me clear those thoughts.

But until then, I’ll occupy my mind with trying to get smart #4 moving. I have until Monday to extricate it from the storage unit.

Original post:

One day I’ll make these relationship things work. I guess karma did its thing and I’m on the receiving end of the breakup this time. Figured this would happen.

Starman’s reasoning is that I deserve way better than him. He wanted to love me as much as I loved him, but relationships just really aren’t his thing. He loves me but more as a BFF than a lover. If this sounds familiar, don’t worry, it’s nearly exactly the same reasoning I gave the girl I broke up with right before I met him.

It’s not because he doesn’t love me, just he knew he couldn’t give me the sustainable relationship I was looking for. I respect his decision and am happy he didn’t wait too long to do it.

We plan on continuing to be friends, with going boating on Saturday and maybe Pride on Sunday.

In a way, I feel okay. I didn’t feel like I was settling, though I feared that maybe our relationship wouldn’t have been the dream I thought it would be. Looks like I’ll never know.

Either way, I’m too drunk to cry. Cover photo is the last picture I took during our adventures as a couple.

Post motorcycles to cheer me up.

I’m sorry. I’ve been there, ending a relationship with someone I really liked, but knew I didn’t love in the way that she loved me. It felt like it would’ve been wrong to continue the relationship when I knew it wouldn’t have led to where she wanted. That said, we remain good friends to this day, and I’m thankful for that.

Sucks, but as far as breakups go that sounds pretty good. Have fun and don’t sweat it. You’ll find the right one.

Not a motorcycle, but close. Love the look of these.

Such is life. Sounds like it’s for the best though.

I keep finding cheap Helixes! I want to buy them all!!!

Waste no tears! Get up tomorrow and do what you love to do. When you finally forget due to a busy schedule, someone will come along.

I’ve been there...frequently...on and off with the same girl for the past three years and though we love each other very much, we feel better off as friends until one of us moves closer to the other or something. Of course, LDRs are not easy, and closer relationships are even harder cause I’m not very good at the whole social thing.

I hope my offering of my dream bike pleases you.

another one:

I just read a fascinating book about these bikes - but unfortunately it’s another one of those stories about a British company that slowly dwindles down over decades before being snuffed out long past its sell-by date.

You have a company that was ahead of the curve for decades, but failed to keep pace, and got way behind the competition by the 1960s. However unlike many similar stories, Scott was always a tiny company so they have a better excuse than most of the fallen giants of the motorcycle industry.

Come on out west! If you end up in the SW, you can ride almost every day, and there are lots of places for track days. Before I learned to lean...

Enjoy my Ducati monster in all it’s glory in the SoCal canyons! You’d probably love it here.

Have an MZ I saw in 2016. If the list of places and milestones is genuine, it’s quite an achievement for a two stroke bike.

can’t offer relationship advice (never been in one) so here’s bikes.

and on a day trip up to the tip of The Thumb last summer:

I’m going through something similar right now. My soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend says she doesn’t think she can consistently show me the love I need and deserve (her words, not mine) and feels guilty about it even though I said I don’t mind since dry spells happen in every relationship. It isn’t officially over, but we’ve talked exactly once in the past week. Oddly, I don’t feel upset...just mildly disappointed.

As much as you shouldn’t it would be a fun ride to the West

So here is my sad Aprilia and the Triumph I want

You will find the right one.

Hang in there Merc! This isn’t karma, this is normal life stuff. It’ll get better.
