    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.

    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

    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!

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

    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)

    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.
