    You know, all things considered, there isn't really what I consider in depth mental cognition testing during a medical for a pilot. I don't know what would be appropriate to be honest, but they don't even check to see if we put the square peg in the sqaure hole!! Ha!
    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    Currently have two:
    '05 Suzuki M50
    '17 Kawasaki KLR650

    I've had the Suzuki since 2014.
    I rode it from Nashville to Key West and back one summer; that's before I deleted the rear fender for the bobber look.
    It's been trouble-free for 18,000 miles in my possession. It's now at 30,000.

    In 2017 I took a one-way bus trip from Nashville to Cincinnati for the KLR, and rode it back.
    That's the longest trip I've taken on it so far. It only has about 4,000 miles currently.
    Plenty of wrench-time doing upgrades though...

    ^ Ninja 250. Not my bike, but mine was exactly like that. (Image source)

    I've only owned one bike. And I only got it because I love operating mechanical things and I thought it would be fun to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I took the course, read lots, got the gear, rode it for a couple of summers, sold it.

    I made the decision to sell when I realized it was competing with my bicycle for local errands.

    I've owned 3 bikes through about 7 years of riding.
    Ninja 250 (2002?)
    Ninja 600 (2004?)
    ZRX1200r (2004?)

    Told myself that i'd spoil myself on my next bike purchase as all my previous bike purchases have been "inexpensive" purchases.
