Addition by subtraction (or how to rationalize getting a new bike)

[Dan]

I sold the S1KRR just before moving to Vermont and with over half the state's roads unpaved, I've traded in the K1200GT for something a little more suitable for the roads here. We still have the busa that will be our sport touring bike.

Now if the weather would only let me out for a ride.

How about one of these Dan?

Maybe next year....

Why try to rationalize getting a new bike anyway? I say if you can afford it, go for it...life's too short to contemplate all the negatives against buying new cool toys, IMHO

Don't tell Lady Di I said that unless she agrees with me

Shes the one that keeps him in toyz Looks great Dan, go for it

 

[Dan]

Thanks!

I can't wait to try her out on a long run. We bought it in NY and trailered the K1200GT there due to the cold. I tried to ride for a bit on the way back but my blood is still too thin.

LOL...She's my biggest enabler and on the same page with you. I know better than to bring her something because her answer is, if we can afford it and you want it, get it. :love:

Have you put the lift kit and 31" wheels on the car yet

That's exactly what I tell him. Have you not heard the story of how we got the R6?

WOW...really?!

I have not I suppose...I'm assuming you waved a wand and told him "So let it be bought, so let it be ridden" ???

Do tell, and wow, who is this stranger I'm talking to?!

Don't worry, we'll keep the lights on and it'll all be here tomorrow, unless captain forgot to pay the electrical bill, or is April Fool's Day close?
