The thing is......although you might be spending most of the time in the garage, Mrs Merv knows where you are & what you are up to which, if my wife is anything to go by, wifeys seem to like. If Francois Hollande had had a collection of bikes to fiddle with in his spare time, he wouldn't have had the time to......ahem!.....fiddle with other things. Ducati..... better than Relate.
My wife is the same, she knows if I'm messing around with bikes I won't be getting up to mischief down the pub or any other mischief. My missus and my daughter gave me my 1199 as a fathers day gift after noticing me checking it out a lot in mags etc. So when she isn't ear bashing me about something she's alright. AC:biggrin:
They just gave me £1000 as part of my birthday present to get a track day I want, which I blew on a Alpinestars Atem 1 piece suit for the track instead. You know what they say "it's better to be lucky than good". Mind you I'm sure it will come up if we have abig argument !!!!!
I told my other half I was contemplating having an affair, she just laughed and walked off......................
For me the joy of owning a motorcycle is the solitude and relative loneliness of riding by myself, no music, no phone, just me. With a young family and running my own business, I just love the fact that I can pop out at the weekend for a couple of hours and have a bit of "me" time, last thing I would want is the missus following me on a bloody Suzuki Gladius with a pink helmet on
You can't beat a good wife! For toys I've got two bikes and one car, I hardly ever use them but like having them. Boxes of parts strewn around the house. Bit of nagging every once in a while, but essentially she's all right! :smile:
I'm the same, own business, young family, 3 dogs to walk, The bike is exactly what I need at the weekends for a bit of me time. They can be a pain in the ass sometimes but wouldn't have it any other way.AC:tongue:
Makes up for all the bollockin's I get when I screwed up / embarrassed her up due to a few whiskeys / tequila. mind you have generally deserved it. AC
Thank you for your interest-I would rather not give details at the moment,as the seller might very well see my interest.However as soon as the deed is hopefully done I will post full details.Perhaps I will miss out if the bike sells for more than my limit. I am keeping fingers crossed.
Well i need to take a deep breath and try to get a couple to tinker with ( i told my Mrs the 999 was for tinkering with and the odd ride with a few breakdowns thrown in )the bike that is , not me . Yet !
