Now I'm really confused.....

So, the check from the insurance company covering the SV has finally turned up, three & a half G’s into the bike fund.

I bought the SV as a 2nd bike to cover some of the commuting I was doing on the 'Blade and, as it was naked, I was hoping to get the Mrs on the back. Now I have changed jobs, so I don’t use the bike as much, so getting a 2nd bike is not really necessary.

So, do I just sit with the 'Blade, knowing the Mrs will never get on it anyway ? The other option is to sell the 'Blade (I’ll get a tad over £5k), and use some of the insurance money to get myself a more pillion friendly bike ?

I hardly ever do track days, and tend to prefer longer ride outs and trips to France etc so I keep coming back to the VFR, with a set of cans and a PC3. But I love my 'Blade, even though I’m not the fastest rider out there.

So I’m in a dilema. I could keep the 'Blade and spend some of the money on a cheapish naked to use for commuting & pillion work… But the money is burning a whole in my pocket, very quickly !!

Hmm. Stick with the blade. The missus will get on the back of it sometime. Time always wins. Keep the bike you want not what someone else wants. in theend its upto you mate. I dont. just my €0.02 is all

Sell everything and buy a…

Does she really want to get on a bike? naked or sports? Why not go for a test ride on a ‘suitable’ bike and see how she likes it. If she doesn’t, sell the blade and buy a gixer!

Err, know what i would do !!!

Nah, had a Gixer, couldn’t live with “that” build quality again…

I have to admit that I would actually like to take the Mrs out on the bike. I’d love to turn up at a race meeting 2 up with the Mrs, but maybe I’m just fooling myself. Perhaps I should trade her in for one that like bikes anyway

Keep the blade, I shall be round to collect the money burning a hole in your pocket…
