I do that too!!

Used to go out several times a night when friends who smoke were over.
I used to let people smoke in the garage so would join them and ogle my baby for a few minutes!!
Now a lot of my friends have quit smoking and also my bike isn't quite as pretty or enticing any more!! Now it just causes an "Oh F&*k" response and a strange feeling inside!!

I have been back to the dealer's a few times to see my new baby though!!

No Not really. Id rather go up the pub and stare at the attractive females ahich is what id recomend you do. If you dont, get some wire wool and get the rust off the thing

It's a cuppa for me.

I only wish I had the room in the garage for an old sofa... then I'd spend a lot more time there. As it is there's not enough room to swing a mouse, let alone a cat.

And I've got to fit the ZX6R in at the weekend too!

all the time. I love my bike. I sometimes go to the garage to get a beer or something and then just spend ages looking over her, polishing the mirrors or just running my hands over the body work / checking bits and pieces etc. I even thanked her tonight for getting me safely to Warwick and back tonight - 160Mile round trip - my first ever longish haul trip. Shes a real babe!

I can't help but do it.

I just look at it and think "I can't believe that this thing is still on the road"

Sad I know but it keeps me happy.

I KNEW my wife was wrong when she said I must be the only sad git who goes out just to look at my baby
The guys at work have a good laugh as I now have a mirror angled just so I can look at her (the bike ) from my desk........for security purposes only you understand.................. hurrrumph
