    LAT here so all the benefits without the nagging.. she looks after herself and I spend my money on bikes track days off roading etc.. only thing is I have to take her on holiday occasionally . Which is ok for me too.. hopefully the holiday will be on my bike this year.... Or NOT ..

    Well I would say you’re only here once and if you want something, and you can afford it go for it, but this is coming from my perspective of having a partner with a terminal illness. Now if your wife wants a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes or diamond encrusted handbag then you can’t complain.
    I think the best cause of action is to get a divorce and marry someone who loves bikes as much as I do.
    How was that answer, diplomatic enough??

    I had a dog named Jimmy and he chewed my wife's shoes. She was very proud of the fact that she owned several pairs of Jimmy Choos. Andrew - I'll send you a pair for the lovely wife if you want:) But, you might want to just 'bite the bullet' and buy some tickets for a cruise to her favorite place.

    This is Jimmy. He was so retarded that we had to put goggles on him to keep him from scratching his eyes on the bushes. Every time he did, he set me back about $300 to $400 in vet bills:(

    Thats a great answer! If i give you her number will you call her and talk her round? Haha!
    All said and done she is very understanding and actually loves coming out on the bike with me. I just dont think she can see the justification in spending £1100 on my bike.
    With all that said im a massive fan of spending money and enjoying life, as is she. But i think her idea of enjoyment is a beach somewhere hot. Not sat in the rain on the back of a speed triple!

    She wierdly has an obsession with teapots, which is fine because theyre relatively cheap! So ill just buy her a teapot. Wonder if triumph do teapots?....

    You earned it. You spend it. Saving for wedding? Not wed yet? No jurisdiction really.

    Well. Today has been fairly successful! Fitted my new tyres, seat and arrow system. New map is installed! Took her out for a quick blip earlier and could instantly tell the difference! Its like a new bike altogether! Also had time to remove the pesky baffle! Sounds very nice indeed. Need to get some better pics of it really but heres a couple of pics.

Unbeknown to her she even bought me Christmas presents for it . Bought a silver and black one kind of the same colour of the old Thunderace. My mates said you’ll never get away with it . Course I will I said. Spent a small fortune on it up until now. Comes this weekend took it for its 1st blast. Then stupidly posted a picture on Instagram. She saw it and asked me if it was the same bike and I lied through my teeth swearing it was , she was very suspicious until my daughter saw the same post and replied “ another new bike dad “ Busted!! But it’s been very quiet the rest of the bank holiday with the silent treatment .....

    Bikes looking nice Andrew, bet that low exhaust sounds sweet without the baffle in but can I give you one bit of advice, if you’re throwing the tyres away chuck em in someone else’s garden, you’ll get sick of mowing around them if you leave them there :D

    Sorry, I’m confused. Is your bike the one with bright pink tassels in the handlebars or the dull black one?
