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 !!

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
