Eh?

Tonight, over dinner (which I had cooked and was rather nice), me and
the boy are discussing bike stuff. I implied that next year I might
consider outing the Zephyr for something moe sporting. I was expecting
the usual "no fucking way" from the UK's newest biker babe, but no,
instead a dialogue of what type of bike and why ensued.

Very odd.

Yes, very odd... perhaps there's 'something going round'? When my old crate
struggled to impress the local MoT testing station recently, Mrs L said if
it was going to start costing me loadsamoney to keep on the road, best get a
newer machine. My reaction was. "Okay, who are you and what have you done
with my wife?!"

Less than a fortnight later there as a shiny new (to me) 750 in the garage.
Then she suggested a new crash hat for her birthday and that was followed in
short order by a set of Akito cordura complete with armour, size 'M'. The
last time she was on a bike was about 25 years ago!

I'm not so sure this new situation is better though... *:s

 

Something in the water...

T suggested recently that I flog (some of) the current fleet and buy
something bigger and newer.

The sell the fleet bit didn't surprise me, but the other bit knocked me
back rather...

 

Perhaps she's planning on mugging you between the first bit and the second.

It's a female plot. I've tried to figure what the eventual outcome of
all this is, but I'm at a loss.

I think I'd better remain happily single with a garage load of bikes.

All will be revealed come Xmas morning. 'I told you to get a new bike,
& all you buy me is a lousy iron?!?' or words to that effect.

You're spot on there.

After explaining about some antics on the 9R, I got told I needed
something that was "less like a comfy pair of slippers", which sounds
like an excuse to buy the latest and greatest sprotsbike if I ever heard
one.

Not quite sure how that worked out, mind...

 

Surely head gasket work is trivial compared to replacing the alternator?

 

<panics>

 

Don't worry. If you ride like a gurl they don't break.

 

Bollocks. If you ride like a gurl, you get taken roughly from behind by
Salad Dodger.

 

I think I'll stay married with a garage full of bikes. would be better
if he didn't break them within days of me bringing them home though.
