I want to personally thank you all for your advice and feedback.
Reading some of the responses got me thinking about where I want to be in life in terms of my experiences and I realized that I don't want to be the man looking at his bike hung up on the wall, shiny and unused, wishing to have experienced it when his days were younger.
I'll take care of it and use it for sport-touring events or credit-card touring at some point and will leave the heavier tours to my current in-progress build which should be ready by May. I will post more updates in the coming months on both bikes with pictures as some of you have requested.
As others have said, this thread can also serve to other bikes or possessions others have and are experiencing as well as the feeling is universal. I hope this thread continues in some way for others to share their own experiences and promote enjoyment instead of behaviors like I experienced.
Cheers
