[QUOTE="Kevin"] It's a couple of factors called getting divorced (expense no.1), being out of my main source of income for 2 years (expense no.2). I've pretty well been set back 25 years financially so am starting again. I can earn good moolah, so figure a few months will see me back on a bike again.[/QUOTE] I had an inkling that you'd respond with excuses, and nearly posted something to that effect, but thought "sod it" and went to bed. The only thing really stopping you getting a bike is you. You'll make it happen if you really want it. Plan to get one in spring and make it happen. So, what are you going to get?
