Re: A General observation, why are all the toys going?
 

Most of the oldskoolsuzuki-ists seem to be the same. When you've just got frames kicking about does that count as owning another bike? I don't count something as a bike unless I've got a frame, engine and at least one wheels worth of running gear.

But bikes are a lifestyle not toys, my life revolves around them at the moment.

Re: A General observation, why are all the toys going?
 

yeah im tempted to sell my car and just use bikes all the time, maybe get a tourer or an old SV650N for work. no more people asking for lifts. could have a bit of trouble getting ladders on it though.

Re: A General observation, why are all the toys going?
 

I sold my SRX when I went travelling 10 yrs ago, and when I came back I had no bike for a year and ended up pillion :( It was better than nothing, but I'll never leave myself without one again, it's practically a part of me! Everything goes/gets cut before the bike...

Oh and I knew that my hubby was the one for me when he suggested selling his beloved TLR to pay for me to join him in South Africa for a while :smt049

(PS. we kept it in the end!)

Re: A General observation, why are all the toys going?
 

parked my last one up 6 years ago when my daughter was born! took me five years before i managed to get another one to replace it, daily nagging to a constant retort of " we can't afford it" finally i won, got it and i have no intention of letting it go, if it went i suspect my kids would have left home by the time i got another one! it costs a tenner a month to insure and i only had time to do 1000 miles on it last year, but it still aint going.

Re: A General observation, why are all the toys going?
 

I went to a lot expense to pass my test, buy a bike, kit myself out etc so not having a bike now is unthinkable.
Serious injury is the only thing that would stop me now and of course if me and the wife both became unemployed.
My car is a more expensive thing sitting on the drive that i dont really need, i use my van more.
