I don't want to fix my bike or go riding.
Should I start taking prozacs? I'm starting to get a bit worried about
this! I'm not normal!
There will be the last enduro of the season. Three weeks from now.
Weird enough, I'm 9th on the ranking for top class, with two trophies
this year. This race will be on a place I love riding, the semi-arid
land that has lots of cactuses and rocks and hills...
Bike doesn't charge battery. Last night I checked battery voltage: 1.5
volts, or, enough to power a wrist watch. Put it on overnight charger,
this morning it had ~12.5. New battery, less than 6 months old,
Johnson Controls "off road" series 7Ah sealed battery. Tonight I'm
supposed to rig it to the bike and start chasing wires... again... My
friends are counting on me (and on my towing car, pratice on careful
tow and willingness to be designated driver after the prize party)....
Then I also have a huge pile of dirt clothes to laundry and my new
girl (a 2 month old female rhodesian ridgeback dog) sure spreads shit
all over my place. I really feel like cleaning dog poo and doing
laundry but *not* fixing my bike.
I must have caught some virus in China... Have any of you guys looked
forward to do laundry instead of go riding? If so, how did you got the
cure? I must be very sick! Help!!!!

Only cure is to go riding.
Go fast. Take chances.

Sturd hit it right on the head. You gotta go riding.
It sounds like you have the "Honda blues".
It might be time for a new one.

Yes. Same thing happened to me in '03. Never got Prozac, and haven't
been the same since.

First, if your battery only had 12.5 volts after an overnight charge,
you may need another battery. It should have read about 13.8v.
Second, I have NEVER felt like doing laundry or cleaning dog poo.
Third, I got married so I wouldn't have to do laundry.
Fourth, I got rid of the wifes dog after the marriage
Fifith, If you don't go on the Enduro, you might as well go out and
buy yourself a dress and some 6" heels.
Sixth, If you really want to get over the slump, go out to a strip
club as soon as possible and drink copious amounts of alcohol.
