Wife's Dramatic Sense of Humour Failure

Rhino · Post by **Rhino** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 5:32 pm

Nearly 25 year ago I got off a bike (at 60 miles an hour!) and have not been on a bike since. I have missed Ducatis (I used to have a 750 Paso that was a joy) every single day since.

On Sunday, on the phone, on a whim, I bought a 907ie with one owner and 2,000 miles on it and just to make certain my wife was going to have a really dramatic sense of humour failure, an hour later I bought a 1994, one owner, 3,000 mile, 916S, one of the limited edition of 200.

I wandered into the pub, went to our table and told all my mates, and my wife too, what I had done.

If anyone out there can let me know what tools I need to fix this one I'd be grateful !!

I'd say thats gunna cost you at least a carrat

, please tell me the 916 isn't a single seat job, 2 carrat's if it is

I nearly got myself killed a while ago

, but , somewhat ironically the problem was that I didnt wait 25 years to get back on a bike ( if you can call an R80 a bike )

in fact I was back on it before I could walk

....mother and wife ... not happy (

) they will get over it , I did!
Anyhow she aint going to leave over a couple of bikes , you might be neck deep in shit for a while but you'll still have the bikes WONT YOU Rhino

Just tell her that both bikes are an "investment", which they really are. My wife never believed that until I talked her into buying a bike...... she paid $1200 for it in an estate sale.... I sold it right after I picked it up the next day for $4000. Then I sold a BMW, a SR500 Yamaha, and a couple of more bikes to have a lot of work done on our house

. Still have all my Ducs, except the one I sold to my best friend, and a few other bikes also

...... not to mention a very happy wife

forget sorting her out, you will never achieve that! Just do it like you mean it and she will love you for that more than a wimpy bribe....but then again I could be wrong

but please do some roadcraft/rider training courses.

Oh congrats on the bikes, 2000 miles only, will still need a lot of work to check all is well, tyres for a start. welcome to the best club/group there is

907 its not a bike its a cult

Mc tool "still have the bikes" : I'm looking to ad a couple more (an 851 and an 1198). BUT it's ever so scary that I find myself owning two Dukes but no lid . . . how the French ConnectionUK did that happen ????

Blazing 928: Training courses for sure. Don't mind dying but would hate to take some-one with me.

Higgy: Grovelling continues apace

Thanks guys - remember as Higgy so rightly says: there's no such thing as Gravity - the Earth sucks.
