Yes , I think today I can come out. Bought a Hyper the other week. All ok , bit of a wobbler but we're working on that. Comfy , cheapish and wont break the sound barrier at the twitch of a right buttock. That and never liked the look of a Pani. Overpriced , uncomfy , pointless and , and , and just not worth it. So why do I sit and look at the 1299 , thinking I could have that as a second bike to the Hyper ? So. Mid life crisis , it's here. I'm 47 , the hair has done its best to leave the building and the waist is getting too cosy with the front of the trousers. Ive 3 great children , job is ok , happily married. But I feel bored. When younger I raced bikes to a good standard even competing in the Manx and TT for a few years. Now I compete for the last parking space at work , and normally lose. Hell even yoofs looking at me with a view to giving up their seat on the bus . Mobil phones make no sense either. I find myself wanted on connected to the wall again. All the above is classic MLC So , most people find themselves either having an affair with a younger person or buy a Harley. The affair may well pee off the wife and kids ( may , not 100% on that ) and end in an embarrassing moment of limpness. Then it gets even more expensive in the hideen extras that affairs cane bring. The second option is the Harley. The gut is coming , the hair on top is going . I just need to beard up a bit more and I'm there . The third option is a Pani. It's less expensive than affair , the kids should love it cos dad is well cool again ( and no embarrassment and the look of an old dad as the face is wedged in an Arai RXGP ) It's not uncomfy as i'll only do short ish trips and the eyes are failing so that'll keep the speed down. So there you go. It seems that if I look hard enough there is actually a sound medical reason for buying a Panigale. And as well all know , medicine is good for you so it's needs to be the full fat 1299 version. no ?
Blasphemy on here perhaps but have you considered another marque? Doesn’t seem very sensible buying a 17 grand bike that uyou don’t like the look of. Glwt mid life crisis though,. You’ll be a pensioner before you know it.
That's the thing. I'm starting to like the look of them. The front end, with those air intakes . Very appealing A different make ? If we thinking along those lines I should also consider the use of ladies of the night maybe ?
yeah buy one mate, you only live once!! if you can afford it buy one. you can always px for a harley when you reach 50 if you so wish :tearsofjoy:
yea buy one and remember if you get some new fancy leathers you can go one size down and use them as a corset as I do haha. us blokes are multi thinking aswell haha.
Just be careful with any advice given Vices are a plenty Better the devil you know I say Were you thinking red too because that's the best colour You could always have a mistress
