Lovely video, amazing roads. Regards to mojo.... Yes, but I think I overthink stuff....just recently there have been a few bad accidents, and I find myself making excuses not to go out. But also I live on the west coast of Scotland, I am still waiting for summer. Fly by wire..... Jeez but do we need all the technology?

I feel the same and also have two cars to move out the drive…sometimes I feel guilty about leaving my dogs too. Furthermore the wife likes some attention at the weekend too, this can be neglected if I go out on the bike. Additionally sometimes I feel like I just can’t be bothered but not 100% sure why… it is a conundrum

Great video with really good countryside, I like you have to move two cars to get my bike out of the garage, it's a pain in the arse and I believe it put me off going out on the bike which was a BMW R1200RS SE a great bike but as I am approaching the 76 year on this earth it was getting a wee bit heavy to wheel in and out and past our cars, so I downsized to a brand new Honda Hornet 500 and I just love going out on this bike it's like being young again, maybe you should consider such a move if your biking mojo is leaving you.

Yes Dunc I have a similar faff and having learnt the hard way will not ride without all the gear on which also seems such a chore at time's especially on the warmer days. Frequently can't be arsed with it all I'll be all hot and bothered by the time I actually get on the bike. Then most times it's straight to a fuel station more faffing around and getting hotter. Just have to nut up and push through though get a couple of miles from the fuel stop and some good air flow around me and cool off a bit I'm always glad I've made the effort and will usually be out for hour's

I had a major off broke my back both ankles 3 ribs punctured lung 3 fingers but I always all the gear & saved my life.I know what you mean in summer being to hot & being safe so I got me a mesh summer jacket which is great not as safe but better than T-shirt.I see a guy in t-shirts riding a motorbike I cringe & taste blood in my mouth must be relapse of when I had off & blood in Mouth when punctured my lung & died 3 times.A good vented helmet & mesh jacket makes it alot better on those hot 🥵 days you can feel the air coming through mesh especially if wearing t-shirt underneath on forearms.My mesh jacket came with a removable waterproof lining which I carry in tail bag & zips in if it clouds over & looks like rain.In NZ 🇳🇿 the Ozone layer is super thin & get burnt in 10mins & gets upto 36° I don't bother going out on real hot day's maybe after 5-6pm as it doesn't get dark till 9pm or real early 6-7am-11am.At the moment it's been to cold 🥶 a Southerly blast from Antarctica but as soon as Southerly weakens or changes be out after 10am mind you once frost melted.

Diminishing returns. It's just not as thrilling once you've done it enough. Plus some of us fall easily into extreme thinking and try to be hardcore by riding as much as possible, but that's not really necessary and literally nobody cares. Having gone through mojo loss many times over a couple decades, I now just follow the vibe and don't ride if I'm not feeling motivated about it. Sometimes it's more fun to waste the day, no matter how perfect the weather. It's a motorcycle, not a job or a marriage; no need to guilt-trip yourself. I guess some skills need dusting off occasionally if you're not very experienced, but forcing it defeats the purpose if it's not enjoyable. If it's still enjoyable but the inconvenience is the turn-off, I'd address the inconvenience, if possible. Need more room in the garage? Sell the wife's car! Now that's being a real hardcore biker! 😉

lovely road that one, awesome bends, after the red bike gas station. I don't know if they fixed smth on the 2023 revision I have but I keep it in A and TC 1 all the time (minus slippery conditions when I put in B and TC 2) and had no issues. About the mojo thing, I am a late bloomer, just started riding 5 years ago but even now as I watch this video very late at night, I get the itch to go ride now, in the middle of it :) By the way, do you also find the "fancy" LED headlight a bid disappointing compared to the ancient bulby one of the 650 ? Maybe it's the sharp cut off or smth, I don't know. Makes me really think about getting some of those "fog lights".
