Start doing long cruises. After about an hour or two on a bike, you'll wish you were in the Camaro. I use my motorcycle for my daily communting, but any long trips I will take the Camaro. You could also move to Vegas, or any other desert city. It gets o hot there in the summer, you won't want to be on or in anything withoout A/C. Or start a camaro club and do Camaro only cruises.

Any good suggestions to make me want to drive the Camaro again?

It's a bit of a problem considering I'd have to add 400+ horsepower to the car to make it keep up with my bike
Nope. Motorcycles are superior forms of transportation.

I use the camaro for grocery shopping as I was tired of bungee cording all my groceries to the motorcycle.

Ya.... that's never stopped me. I have ridden both a sportster and xr1200 across the country several times. I also ride both in the hot summer months and am not bothered by either.

If you like motorcycles, then there is nothing that can replace them.

Get a gnarly complete exhaust setup headers-back. May not be as fast, ducatis are nasty, and sound awesome. But can't beat the sound of a v8 singing right

I was a sport bike rider for about 8 years, then a harley rider for about 3. i crashed the sport bike at 50mph and walked away with only road rash and the bike was only scrathed. the harley was great i rode it across country. after having my son i just never rode anymore. so i traded it in for the camaro this year. im finally starting to not have that urge to go for a ride. i have plenty of friends with bikes so i can still ride if i want to. after loosing a couple of good friends while they were riding i just had to give it up until my kids grow up.

My wife has the Camaro and I have an S1000RR and a 99 R1.Driving the car just doesn't compare to riding the bikes.However,the car handles pretty good for a car....

I know that feeling. Only I haven't been on a bike in about 5 months. I live in San Diego and we have some of the best roads out here for my 04 R6 but I recently had a friend get himself killed up on Palomar Mountain who was a far superior rider to anyone whom I have known and since that I have been scared to hop on and not because I could die but because of seeing what that did to his family at his funeral. Although I won't lie and say everytime I see a bike dragging knee on the way to Julian and I am in the Camaro I don't get jealous......

It's the damn adrenaline that just pushes all of the useless s##t out of your head and gives you total blissfull calirty while on two wheels that I have yet to find anywhere else.
