I am screwed??

[nudemetalz]

Well as you may or may not know, I got the RF400 going fine.
I took it to work yesterday for a run just to make sure everything was good.
It went really well too, nice and smooth.

Anyway I heard the Mrs take off this morning on 400 to go to work (she's been taking the Guzzi all last week).

I said "So,....what you think of the RF ? Going well, huh"
(expecting a "I love it" response)
Her reply was "Well, actually I prefer the Guzzi, now..!!!!"


Does this mean I'm relegated to the RF400 ????? :shit:

[Deviant Esq]

:lol:

Have to say that this was predicted by many, and yep, you're screwed! LOL

Put a dodgey plug in the guzzi and then take several weeks to sort it out...

I wouldn't be worried what bike you are riding.
I am more concerned about the sex of the partner you are riding

[Karma]

Wait? What's she doing out of the kitchen?

ooops...meant to say "HER reply"....

See what the stress of this has caused !!!!

Then I get the bus and she gets the RF.
I'll never win....

Carry a spare plug. Either that or you are going to have to book the Guzzi in for a "service" every day. That should buy you a week

[James Deuce]

I know where you can get this really nice Breva 750 and they do trade ins too.

Tell Fergus I sent you. :shifty:

[gijoe1313]

Hmmm methinks ... you'll need to get another one and have HIS and HER decals on them somewhere :scratch:

Failing that, on ya for having a missus with the bejeebus good taste in bikes! :yes:

[laRIKin]

Yes you are and I told ya.

[Mr. Peanut]

That's what you get for riding a girls bike ;)

[Paul in NZ]

In answer to your question, I'd say if you play your cards right you could be screwed, regularly and well...

[Colapop]

Sell the 400. She's not going to let you keep a bike in the shed that's not going to get used. You know you're never getting 'your' bike back, so you may as well get another. Not necessarily to match but complimentary. Go forth a test ride..

[Edbear]

(expecting a "I love it" response):




You WHAT? After riding the Guzzi, you EXPECTED her to LOVE the RF...!?:gob:

[JimO]

my wife rides mine to work

[nudemetalz]

Thanks for the ...errr..."advice" peoples...

Yup she like the fact that the Guzzi feels like a real bike (whatever that means).

Yes, Lemans, you are quite right there you did say so. SDU got hers, didn't she !!

And Mr Peanut, I have a girls bike?? Sheesh,....:kick:

[Skunk]

I've 'lost' four bikes to my wife, first my ZXR400, then my ZX6R, then my KLX250, then my Z1000... I won't let her ride the RDLC if I can help it. Each time we've had to buy a his and hers and I get the crappy one.

Sure,....that's what I thought when we bought the RF....
It's called hers and hers. You get the what's left over.:doh:

[Swoop]

Sounds like a divorce settlement...:scratch:

[Ixion]

Couple of cup fulls of water in the Guzzi tank when she's not looking . "Oh dear, not running well? Broken down? Oh, that's no good. It *is* Italian you know, they're like that. Maybe you should take the RF in the meantime, it'll be very reliable now it's sorted"

Assuming shes not a crypto wrenchwench of course.

[Guitana]

Sounds to me like you need to take back the power!!!! If my missus tried to take my bike I would chain her to the kitchen sink for a week!!
Or maybe this is the perfect time to buy that new bike!! If she takes the Guzzi you get to buy a new one!!! and she gets to pay it off!

[nudemetalz]

Errr ,...when you're married with joint bank accounts and mortgage, this "she can pay it off" doesn't work !! :dodge:

[Pwalo]

Yes you are screwed. I'm so lucky that my wife tolerates my biking but isn't interested in riding, (or pillioning now) herself.

[R1madness]

Hey nude, I can get her a V11 sport too if you like............

[nudemetalz]

Not really an option at present, R1M (thanks though).
House renovations going on - this eats $$.

Just out of curiousity, what sort is the V11 Sport?
(ie year colour etc)

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Sure,....that's what I thought when we bought the RF....
It's called hers and hers. You get the what's left over.:doh:

And your problem is??? LOL

[SDU]

I heard you wanted a Griso for your next bike, what are you waiting for, she keeps the V11 the renovations can still be done a bit more slowly, everyone wins- except your bank balance, you only live once.

[Skunk]

And so it starts... :killingme

Jeez Chris, stop bitching.

At least you're not catching the train. :dodge:

Jeez Chris

That took some reading to get right.

With most things there is a right way and a wrong way, but with women its just their way.:shutup:

[mstriumph]

..... erm .... time to apply a little lateral thinking here

yes, in ONE way you are completely, utterly and irrevocably screwed

- but looked at ANOTHER way you have a nicely-running little 400 as a deposit on a ...........?? :innocent:

[nudemetalz]

Deposit on a Guzzi...yeah I know... If Jim2 could look at Breva 750's then perhaps we could too.

[James Deuce]

Yeah, but stay away from MY Breva. Trying to do the sums and wifely convincing.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I know where you can get this really nice Breva 750 and they do trade ins too.

Tell Fergus I sent you. :shifty:

Forget that Jim.....we're about to trade a Griso....and even I WANT that!
Gorgeous I must admit....and sounds well sick with it's after market pipe!
Black in colour.....not a mark on it....:love:

[James Deuce]

Well? Price???

[Ozzie]

Errr ,...when you're married with joint bank accounts and mortgage, this "she can pay it off" doesn't work !! :dodge:

Amen to that brother, you are screwed, and so is your bank account!

Either trade her in for a learner, or go shopping for new bikes together, same bike, one in pink, one in black.

Although, that probably wont work either, you'll get stuck with the one with the most scratches, so you'll get the black one, instead of the pink one you wanted.

PT :rockon:

I could see you on a Griso, Jim !!!
Mmmmm,...nice machines !!!

And Ozzie, umm,..pink bike would clash with my blue riding gear (which clashes with my, oops sorry, our, deep red Guzzi anyway).

That's not Marty from Clemenger's one is it?

That must have less than 3,000 kms on it!

I'm not at libery to answer that just yet......

[James Deuce]

Price Indication please, or I'll come down there. You don't want me coming down there.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Price Indication please, or I'll come down there. You don't want me coming down there.


That's EXACTLY what I want....far easier to get you tangled in my web if you're here in person Jim!

IF we get it here....I'd think around 20k.

[James Deuce]

I'm warning you - I'll send my wife in.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Do it!......

Now thats something I would like to take for a spin....

[Paul in NZ]

Why yes - erm - of course I was

[nudemetalz]

Actually Pete, I would love to take the Griso for a spin too !!

I want to see just how much better (if any) it is than the V11. Plus, I think B is getting more attached to the V11 anyway, so who knows....... ;)
