New bike or financial sense

[avgas]

Yep I'd pretty much agree with that, with the exception of the viagra. Luckily I'm not at that stage of my life, yet.

So when are you upgrading the K2 then

As you get older you get closer to the reaper.
No time like the present, buy it, fuckit all.
That's how I live now.
We're dead a long time, fuck dying with money in the bank eh.

...or even better, don't buy it, buy something faster and more powerfull!!

Yeah. I do have a limited innings left - according to the medics anyway...but then they are full of it oft' enough...

I see that the poll has finally tipped in favour of the bike. I'm frankly surprised at the number of KB'ers advocating common sense and frugality - I though we were all total loonies on here...

There's an upgrade?

42,600 happy Km's - until that strumpet of a gixxer came along and turned your head, stroked your ego and caused inappropriate erections. She is only after your money, you know. Oh sure it seemed harmless at first, the odd smile, a sly glance in her direction, a relaxed laugh at a little joke shared.

What of the tags? Oh those tags, didn't you and the SV have so much fun collecting tags together, the fine spring mornings, the warm summer nights and those long autumn afternoons together, just the two of you, taking happy memories.

But no, you want the curves, those long legs, you hear her voice in your dreams, that those not so smitten would most likely call a high pitched whine.

She glistens there with her painted face, it's all for show you know, once she has you hooked the spots and blemishes will appear...


Ooops sorry - need a tissue now, maybe I'll go take her for a ride myself - you know she's that kind of girl...

So well put

I did try out the Daytona but found the seating a little too extreme for an old fulla...affordability was also a factor...

Fair enough, you gotta be comfy.

I find the low crouch possy of modern sprotsbikes great, suprisingly with my aches and pains and being an old fulla too.
But I'm not an all day tourer type, so could differ than eh.

[SVboy]

Outstanding!! Ftw!!
