Old Car and Bike rambling

I loved this bike so much that I thought I would keep it forever, but after I moved away from my riding buddies I lost interest in riding except for the occasional ride to work. I'm not sure what happened, but my right hand started going numb after 10 minutes of riding no matter what I tried with my grip (tighten/loosen/loosen even more) and the angle of my forearm, I realized it was time to sell when the thought of riding no longer called to me. I discovered there was zero interest in my area for this bike since I live in cruiser country. Maybe the waning interest overall for 2 wheeled transportation due to the dangers of sharing the road with inattentive drivers on their smart phones was the culprit, but I wanted to get out of this bike before my son got old enough to learn to ride and I wanted to use the cash to help me find an NC Miata . I should have sold the bike last year or the year before when the book value was higher but the timing did not work out for me.
