    Cool

    If I was to sell my bikes it would have to be my decision and not as a result of some ultimatum.

    I can not be changed by someone else's wishes or demands.

    But I have had that ultimatum presented to me. I told her she could stay, so I packed a shoulder bag and left. 3 years of gear we had gathered became hers.

    The ones after that have not demanded I choose. But if any of them had I would have made the same decision.

    On reflecting I would say I am a crappy partner/husband as I tend to take females in my life for granted. It might come from the way I treat my bikes, as they are always there waiting for me no matter how long I have been away. And they are happy to share me with other bikes.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    theres your problem. you asked. tell her, end of.
    Wifey let me put both the bikes inside. have pics somewhere I think, used to be able to fit them both in the sliding door, CBR600 beside the bed, and the TZR at the foot of the bed, still had enough room to walk around the bed.

    Mrs Oakie has always supported any bike buying decision I've made. She even sold her last bike so I could use the proceeds to help buy the Bandit. She won't ask me to make that decision but if someone else told me to choose it would be bye bye Bandit (because I know Mrs Oakie would tell me to buy another).

    So who am I with again? More importantly, am I giving or taking?

    Really, to me, that's the thing about dating. Figuring out whether you're compatible...

    I chose the bike...to go.
    The missus went later.

    next time around, I knew better.......the bike stayed.

    this time....toucha the missus's bikes, she breaka your face (or other parts if she's feeling meaner)

    All keepers this time - win/win situation.
