She had to ask 'that' question.

[scumdog]

After I married my first wife, on our way to our honeymoon, she turned to me and said "of course, now we're married you'll sell all your bikes won't you" I had about 5 bikes at the time, and like a fool I agreed. About three months later I was looking through the motorcycles for sale section in the paper and saw a bike I just had to have. I commented to my wife that I was going out for a couple of hours, and when pressed, I confessed I was going to town to buy a bike. She commented that if I arrived home with a new bike then she was leaving.

Well, I kept my side of the bargain and arrived home on two wheels. She stayed around for another 17 years, and never again suggested that I should prefer her over bikes. :spudwhat:

A woman of dreams!!
I was lucky that CB had her full licence when she was but a teenager. (when we first met and I was a 'man'!)i

I should add that my present wife knows better than to ask THAT question, though she did make a comment to that effect just yesterday.

After meeting her at the Vincent I thought she approved of your current herd of scoots. Maybe she wants one of her own?
Still the Cavalcade is this weekend (I think) and after it she will probably want a bike of her own? eh?

Yes, A week on four legs instead of two wheels. Its still a great time away.

Plus side: knows its own way home and doesn't run out of fuel (or get puncture).
Negative side: Can't pull the clutch in when things go wrong and no kill switch. - plus the grooming takes longer and you can't ride it to the rally site!!

Ms Biff here

I fancy something really fast, so I can make him look like the big girl he really is!!!

As for getting myself a profile on here, I don't see any point yet. I sit over his shoulder and watch what he says most of the time anyway. But as soon as I get a motorised two wheel vehicle he'd better watch out, because I'll be hogging the PC instead of him.

You go girlfriend

Although they often know they way home, they have a tendency to do so when you do not. They can run out of "fuel" but there is usually a handy refuelling spot near by (refuelling does take longer but). They definitily get punctures, which usually self-repair (but take a very long time to do so). The one real advantage is the you can really get pissed on them and you wont get don't for DIC

don't you just cringe when you hear that.. Just like 'does my butt look big in this...?'
I just say the truth, then they can either think you're kidding, or you get to make your own dinner and try the couch out.. Either way, they both serve different urges, so they shouldn't conflict in any way.. in theory

I made reservations = your paying
your dinners in the oven = get your own bloody food
does my butt look big in this = lie to me damn it!!!

sorry just couldnt resist and to stick up for the female speices
you love that thing more than me = i need you to show me some love
usually a hug and kiss and a no dear of course not works quite well

So I pointed out the VTR250 was a nice bike, and I wouldn't mind having one. She said, "Yeah - I could ride that, and you could ride the VFR, and on some rides we could both go on the VFR. Then you could use the VTR for commuting, and save the VFR for longer rides!"

VTR250s are a leetle on the slow side. She wants a nice FZX250, she does.

That lovely mint blue one at Colemans appears to have been sold, though. Pity.
