Am I Being Stupid?
Well, as most of you know I bought a lovely DRZ at Christmas, love it to bits, and have got a Speed Triple in the shed waiting for summer.
Today I sat on the bike of my dreams, a lovely brand new pearl white Hayabusa! Oh WOW, it felt so right, but so wrong at the same time. And when I saw the price, it was do-able. What do I do? Option 1 Walk away Option 2 Trade in one or both bikes and buy it. It's expensive to run (especially insurance) it's heavy, it's going to kill my back and wrists. Speed limits round here are being reduced dramatically. My head is saying I'm being stupid, my heart is saying you only live once. PLEASE talk me out of this madness.

Walk away if in one weeks time you still want it go and get it.

Follow your heart!
You don't want to look back when you're 90 and think 'If only.................'

Re: Am I Being Stupid?
If you like it, you can afford it, then I'd be inclined to go and buy it.

Re: Am I Being Stupid?
You lot are horrible, you're supposed to put me off!
I think Anna is right. But I think I need to get an insurance quote. As Mr Lou says, I've always liked them, from the day I started riding, and the new one is just so....drop dead gorgeous. Think I'd have to keep the DRZ for winter and long rides though. |
