Look love it`s like this

Well that`s how the conversation started followed by " you know it`s christmas" Oh the things we say to our wives just before we tell them we`ve added another bike to the garage.

The bike is a xt660 (09) with less than 6000 miles on the clock . Friend is giving up biking and offered it to me at a absolute killer price that i couldn`t say no too.

Now what i need from you guy`s is the answer to THAT question " Why do you need more than one bike???) I have a million good reasons in my head,but not one that makes sense to her!!HELP

[videoman]

If I want something I tell the wife and just buy it, don't feel the need to justify it and she does the same. Life's too short not to have what you want if you can afford it.

Suppose I'm lucky really though.

The answer if youve forgotten it is...never mind luv look what ive bought you .....

Weekend break in Kuala Lumpur works everytime for me...ladies go enjoy

Money not the issue, she never worries about what i spend,i just tell her everything was a bargain She just can`t get round the idea of needing more than one bike. I`ve tried the "it`s like shoes ,which she has many! they all have their own character " but no joy,

Maybe she`s bought me a new bike for xmas :woohoo: :laugh:

Bikes are like handbags. They all essentially do the same thing, but at certain times, or in certain situations/environments, one is better than the others.

I've got by for years on the principle that it's much easier to seek forgiveness than permission.

She'll come to terms with it eventually whereas asking in advance might never get a positive response.

Maybe an weekend on the Isle of wight, if she takes the kids and dog. What a break i`d have...Now to google B&B`s on the Isl............

Buying bikes and coming home drunk are the same
If you come in with your cap in your hand and ask can you have another bike she will chew the head of you
Same as coming home drunk , open the door creep up stairs not a sound into the bedroom cloths off quite as a little mouse then she's strike where the f have you been look at the time bla bla bla
Now fall in through door taking out phone table stomp up the stairs and kick open the bedroom door with your boot
And tell her to brace herself , not a word and better still most of the time she will play dead
Good luck
