Default Goodbye to the Triumph

Oh well looks like I have to sell the Triumph.

Whilst puttinig away some washing I stumbled upon a load of default notices for my wife. She's been telling me that they where all paid months ago after I offered to sell the bike. One of the loans I'm really anoyed about as it was for 5k originaly and I gave her 3k to pay off it and looking at the balance it would seem she's toped it up.

Haven't got a clue where the money is going as bar the mobile bills and food shopping I pay everything else.

Loking for about 5k for an 04 955i with Union Jack nose one, carbon can and airflow screen. Seem about right?

Bad luck - personally I'd be inclined to keep the bike and sell the wife.

Ask her?

I suspect something to do with shoes.

Why not sell her SV?

Why do you have to sell? If the debts are in her name alone, and not secured, then what's the problem?

I'm a bit of a stress monkey when it comes to debt and we're planning to start a family soon so I'd like to have everyting clear before that as I have believe despite their size children consume an awful lot of your money.

Ok I know it doesn'y get any better when they get older either

Wife bike hmmmmmmm, no contest

Not wanting to step on toes here, but What you got to be kidding right, now I'd freely admit I haven't been food shopping in years, but would have noticed if "tea" was caviar and champane.

Perhaps I'm being unfair, she of course could be saving the dosh to buy you a new bike .

I think a re-management of finacial responsabilities is in order (some people just can't manage moiney and should be given (for want of a better discription) "pocket money" and nothing else, if you have to sell the bike, then it's one of those thing, do it, find & plug the financil drain you've got , get the wedge, use half to pay the bills now and the other half for a decent used 955i or speedtriple, after all no one should be without a Triumph (although not many realise that fact).

Good luck.

Mark.

Also possibly to do with bags too. Good question, what about her SV?
