my wife rides mine to work

**nudemetalz** · 24th February 2007, 08:55

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,....

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.

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 ?????

yup your screwed... bwahahahha

Sounds like a divorce settlement...

**Ixion** · 24th February 2007, 12:47

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.

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** · 26th February 2007, 21:23

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

**Pwalo** · 27th February 2007, 08:39

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** · 27th February 2007, 08:45

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

**nudemetalz** · 27th February 2007, 11:19

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)

And your problem is??? LOL

**SDU** · 27th February 2007, 11:49

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.
