Sat here having failed to win anything for another week, Wifey and I started thinking, if we won millions would we replace the current bikes we love with brand new ones or keep them because we love them as they are?

Keep and Buy.
Buy, buy, buy. Think I'd buy a KTM RC08 first. |

I've just had to look that up! Nice! I'm never sure I'd keep riding the old one once I'd bought something "better". Wifey kept the VanVan for short journeys when she bought the Monster and it hasn't actually left the garage in months.

would so start a collection of classics and i would put together a custom built one for the road which would involve some very very exotic parts.
this would of course be in a different country where the weather is always nice. costs nothing to dream ![]() |

I'd be more than happy to keep my Tiger, it's all I want and need in a bike.
However, I'd also buy a few for special occasions, including a Victory Vision tour. I know it's a bit left field, and no, I'm not going over to the other side, but I like it! http://www.bikez.com/pictures/victor...%20Victory.jpg Pete ![]() |

Keep and buy more! Would love a big BMW 1200 Adventure. Buy a nice house with purpose built garage and workshop.

I'd probably just use my wealth to lure women into bed with me...

I'd probably keep my SV as a general purpose hack then go shopping for:
* a house with a garage big enough for 2 cars and 4 bikes * an off-road tourer (scruffy looking GS 650?) * a sports/track bike (probably a Gixxer) * a long distance tourer (maybe a new VFR) * an estate car with a towbar * a bike trailer * a mammoth order of Almax chains and ground anchors and the final item on my shopping list: * a custom made steel cage, so I can ship my GS to the places I want to go. |
