More to life than riding bikes, can still enjoy them without getting too hot or cold getting wet or avoiding people trying to kill us Personally I’d keep a bike just to look at in the same way people appreciate art also still pop down the bikers cafe for a brew a chat and look around then get in the warm dry car and drive home Can still be heavily involved in bikes without riding I have found that out but it’s really not that bad just be glad you are at the stage you can make the decision we have all had near misses where the decision could have been made for us All the best though and fully understand why
Thanks My daughter has a Hornet 600, so I wouldn’t be able escape the world of biking even if I wanted to and I don’t want to.
Looks fantastic, I would love to own that, if I hadn’t just bought my M1200 I would have bought it, what I would definitely do is trade my 2016 scrambler and give you 1k on top, the logic being the wife allows it because the Scrambler is low power and a sensible riding position, good luck with convincing her on that one OR !!!
Yes it’s the norm, the frames snap at the welds on all Ducati’s after about 50 miles, that’s why we all wear back packs with MIG welders in them.
'For the Fallen' ...quite apt given your recent experience. GLWS or alternatively decision to keep the bike
Fuck sake, kick a man while he's down won't you! He's already been told to sell his bike and now you offer a Scrambler!
yes, I thought perhaps the “it’s not very powerful” angle might work, but on balance I doubt your wife would fall for that, I know mine wouldn’t
Wow that's clean! If I was in your situation I would seriously consider finding somewhere to store it where I could keep looking at it.
Sorry to hear about this, mate. Best of luck with the sale. Someone’s going to get a well sorted bike.
Exhaust is nice and shiny. I like the plate hanger too, can you take some pics please? Where did you get it?
