but im going to leave it fixed for the foreseeable future, so much fun to ride

I'm excited for you man. If I didn't ride fixed I probably wouldn't ride, to be honest. Every time I dread getting on the bike, the muscle aches and the time I don't have I just remember I can always find something fun that would normally just be riding.
Even just going fast in traffic, since you have to be so much more committed, the intensity makes me smile every time.
