No its not...
If you are a sad fuck without a bike you will be a sad fuck with a bike if you buy one... This isnt about the bike and thinking a possession will make a difference is the issue...
If men want to be able to operate well withing a modern relationship then they still have to do it by being men. Once they have that bit sorted then a bike might be OK...
Ah stuff this crap - I'm wasting time with this shit. You find your man juice at the bike shop Dave and I'll go build my own, I suspect I'm made of different stuff...
I have been reading this thread and enjoying it... To see the obvious Manderthals beating the 'Testosterone drum' vs the Metroboys.
Personally I dont give a rats anus about the stuff in the OP's post. You do what works for the individual couple. if 'she' wants to control what he does/has and is allowed to? Only person to blame is 'him' for 'selecting' her in the first place... Conversely if the 'major man juice producers' have to beat the 'man drum' so rigorously? You have to wonder what inadequacies they are trying to conceal.

Will it grow back hair? As in hair on your back - I heard chics dig that.
Uummm ... a goo that promotes Comradery? I'm a little suspect about that one ... sounds totally Gay ...
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
This situation repeats itself if you reverse the genders also.
I owned a motorcycle before I got married. Somewhere along the lines he was allowed to ride it, I wasn't.
I'm now divorced and never been happier, out motorcycling on my own.
To me, these issues are all about power and control, it's just weighing up if it's worth being in a relationship that itsn't about compromise..
As a woman who is starting to learn to ride and would love to work on bikes too, I think it's sad that there seems to be a lack of communication in these marriages and thought only for oneself, eg, the wife is only thinking of how much time she gets to spend with the kids, the husband is thinking of the motorbike he wants to buy without the thought as to whether the family can really afford it. I'm not saying that if a man (or woman) works hard, they don't deserve a treat. But, if they have a family, and it's something that's going to cost a lot, perhaps some consideration may need to be given to the wife on that front (although I can't STAND people who play the 'not getting one, it's too dangerous' card).
As for his bed being the loneliest place in the world - again, lack of communication. And that's not entirely his fault, either.
It makes me think of something my last serious partner said. "You want to help me? Spend more time with me!"
Bickering, paying bills, watching tv and sheperding kids does not count as quality couple time.
I mentioned to my wife I might like a trials bike.
She said I might like a new wife also.
Wanted Trails bike and replacement wife.
Joking
If I find a trials bike ill tell her once its in the garage.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
