1250 Due Soon

[Hugh74]

I stupidly test drove the new 1250 HP and now have one on order. Hopefully here by the end of the month.

I use to have a 2015 TE which was great but due to work/school drops offs etc it wasnt getting used so I sold it and have missed it since. Engine wise, if I'm honest I couldn't tell a huge difference between my old one the new 1250 and certainly did not notice the shift cams at work. For me the main improvements are the gearbox and the TFT display.

Anyway before I've even taken delivery, I have 1 small issue. I've not quite broken the news to my wife so any suggestions would be most appreciated. I figured it was easier to ask forgiveness then ask for permission.

Brake it to her gently (geddit ?)

Mate, just enjoy whatever the last bit of your marriage was....

Then press that Start button and go riding

Well I figured I would prob have a lot more time on my hands once I told her

I am sure she will be very understanding. Wives are good like that!

Just tell her pal, just say I have been to the garage, realised how much I missed it and have brought another bike
If you can afford it and you are not sacrificing the money for something else then why would it be an issue?

You're not married are you....

I took mine with me, she liked the colour scheme so much she told me to buy it

We only went to the dealer for a free sausage

Your wife will get over it, just tell her

Hand her a pair off your trousers !

When she replies “these will never fit me”




You reply .........

My wife has always been fine when it comes to me buying bikes.......she just says “if it’s what you want, and we’ve got the money, buy it”

She’s a keeper!

My wife was telling me the other day that she understood why I needed three motorbikes......

I fear she has been abducted by aliens....

Unlike the bikes, by the sound of it!

My humble suggestion:

Start picking up brochures of basejumping, look at videos on YT etc. Then, a week later, you 'accidentely' you let her 'discover' reports of mishaps and such. Keep insisting that is what you want for a while, starting to calculate the cost of travel to the sits, needed equipment etc. When she gets wound up about the costs, you put on a sad face and mumbles that it is no more than a bike upgrade….

Wife to bike shop...???

 

[Hugh74]

Thanks for all th useful tips! Well I’ve finally broken the news and I’m glad to report that my testicles are still intact and connected to my body. In fact she took it surprisingly well! She is no doubt storing this up for a big ask in return I’m sure! Anyway now I can get properly excited about my new bike. Hopefully pick up the last week in May. Tick tock tick tock tick tock......
