OMG... your life must be shit if you gauge everything on how much you've lost...

... Here's a novel idea.. what about how much I've gained???

Weeks away touring with my buddies, every weekend out and about, all the mechanical pleasure and satisfaction I've had stripping it down, maintaining it, rebuilding it, modifying it, sat outside biker cafes in the sun staring at it, all the people I've met because of it, miles and miles and miles of roads and adventure on it....

Fuck me..... get out in the sunshine you miserable bastard and stop rubbing your pennies together to keep them shiney .... you could be stone cold dead tomorrow morning.

What makes you think I don't do all that now? I'm away next week and the end of the month.. also considering the shipping the bike to Spain option in July... Out every Sunday, playing with my GS, HD, R1, TVR, Landrover inbetween... Just saying why let it slip through your fingers... I'll do a lot more than most.. just don't need to spend £K to do it..... :)

Its not what you've spent.. it's what you've lost.. whats it worth now...? :rolleyes:

I'm not happy with the potential loss on mine.. if I keep it 10 years it may be worth £4K?.. thats a £3.5K loss! (or £350 a year)... But I am from Yorkshire :)

Brilliant post.. but he's got it so wrong... I spend more than enough a year on toys etc. (and more than my wife knows for sure) :rolleyes: ... You really think I'm concerned about £3.5k over 'X' years. :yelrotflm I can understand a Lancastrian not getting it but Doc, you're from Huddersfield.. thought you'd get the local irony (or were you born down South).. ;)

Anyway.. off to polish my winnings :)

Yes we do think that you're concerned, since you said you were? That's kinda what sparked this whole conversation... :yelrotflm
