    Hmmmmm... Might be time to look for a little GN

    After having a grandad nap on the couch i awoke and went out to the shed to find the old girl trying out the old S for size so crept back inside and grabbed the camera,when realising she had been discovered went all red faced and off insidereckons shes not interested in riding but methinks it may be time for a wee GN or similar,could always use it to go to work if shes not interested eh.

    She had a sit on it and thought "where does the money go?" haha

    Yea surprise her with a little Ginny or scorpio, if she truly doesn't want a scoot, you can always have a skidder bike.

    Leave the little thing alone, you're more likely to replace the engine, gearbox etc. Keep you plenty busy.

    Good stuff!

    Do you want to encourage her ... or put her off the idea ... ???

    For her to do so ... or not do so ... has advantages (to YOU) either way.

    Borrow something first though ... A half hour ride on her own will be enough for her to decide ...
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    I'd be having a stern word with her - no one touches YOUR RIDE. NO ONE!!!

    I've lost track of your exhaust systems!

    If she doesn't bond with it you've got a better garage.

    Good idea. GN will put her off riding & you'll have the sport to yerself. 'orrible fkng things. Why oh why did they put silly handle bars & rake out the forks so they handle so woefully?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Get her a Harley - women love having something hot and hard vibrating and sputtering between their legs...

    So you caught your wife riding the mistress, and still had the presence of mind to go grab the camera? Bravo

    Brought Mrs Berg a GN250 about 3 years ago.
    The GN, an ER6, a GSR750 and about 120,000kms later and she wants another update.

    Got me thinking this,wouldnt mind an old trailey to muck about with ie DR370 era i learnt to ride on an SL125 when i was 9 or 10 so something like an old DR wouldnt be to much for her and if she wasnt into it i could tinker away getting it nice,better still an old 250 motorsport or similar.
