Any dads out there?


How many of you fellow riders are fathers? If so, how do you balance the passion for riding and your greatest love and responsibility?Got into track riding 3 years ago and fell in love with it of course. Very passionate about the sport and all things moto.My wife and i had our first baby last year in June, and i got out twice afterwards. Got the bump to intermediate and my riding was progressing nicely. My goal was intermediate mid-pack for 2018.This season my little girl became larger than life itself, and we bought a house - Bike looks great in the garage... But i got to the track once.... Novice group cause a little humility goes a long way.So I am looking for some perspective now. Anyone else gone through a similar phase?The logic says to sell: With so little seat-time and real-time to invest, i will never be able to safely progress to where i know i could (and want) to be. And of course it is dangerous... and expensive... and i feel guilty taking an entire day for myself... and silly logical shit like that....The heart says to keep: It is better to pursue your passion than let adversity force you to quit... i feel i would always regret taking the easy route of giving up trackdays because they require so much time and money and risk.​Has anyone else gone through a similar scenario? via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/9nrdad/any_dads_out_there/?utm_source=ifttt
