    Crisis - what crisis ?
    You spend most of your life cheerfully working hard, supporting the kids, paying off the mortgage and all the other demands that being a taxpayer entails. Then one day there is enough cash left over for YOU to put towards a small vehicle with only two wheels, and suddenly everyone says that you are having a crisis. By the time you have managed to pay for all that ( which usually take untill "middle-age" ) I'd say that the crisis is well and truely over.

    Indeed.

    It's more of a mid life over the crisis, and finally getting back to what you used to do, seems a bit rude to get hassles for buying something decent to ride now that you can afford it.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    yes but look at your wife, she's gorgeous and she loves your bike...you have the best of everything you do and you know it!

    You're right the crisis is over and now it's time for loads of fun.

    It may well be her kicking me out soon when I tell her (ask her) that I want to spend over $800.00 on Front suspension upgrade

    Actually found it really good having a bike when the kids were small and first bought a house and all that crisis stuff, gave me a place to go and get my head together again.I,m lucky to have such a great and understanding lady though.
    P.s. had to say that last bit cos she was standing behind me.

    If my wife let me ride her as much as my bike does I would rarely venture out the door...

    hmmm, in my experience, if you need to spend money, tell her she can have something she really wants as well. Usually this works with us women.

    Congratulation Sir, I'm sure it's your personality she loves so much and she knows your happiness is of paramount importance, hence the understanding.

    You Sir have real love.
