It's a drug....this bike thing

[Ben]

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of my yellow GS. A beautiful bike, ideal in every way and never a problem (apart from that accessory socket grumble)..a veteran of most of europe's motorways..

and for what?

It makes no sense at all...

It's slab sided..the wrong colour (I had to get a go-faster stripe painted on the fairing to break up the sheer mass of dark)

It's way too fast

It doesn't do dirt tracks

It's only dubiously cool

It cost me way too much even after a great trade in

Why?............

I'm a bike-aholic. Boo hoo

And some of you know what I mean. And as I strip all the gizmos off the GS before it goes, I really do wonder why after 25 similar trade-ins over 27 years, I haven't learnt to curb it.

Maybe it keeps me away from other's peoples wives..

Maybe if it wasn't bikes it would be cars..

Maybe if it wasn't cars it would be a penis extension...

Now there's an idea!

But NO. it aint that.

Answers anyone?

That's like asking why booze is so nice at an AA meeting

Enjoy the new bike, you'll be back though

It's life Ben.......

simple as that, you see someting you want,

so you make up excuses to get it.

Then when you get it and use and abuse it,

it's not so shiney,

I am sure it did this better when it was new,

it sounds a bit rattly now,

Oo Oo Now that seems nice.

I mean it is really nice.

I think I need one of those.

Darling, if we had one of those we could...................................


Into the ether

But its a good drug, like Annadin extra Looks like you've bought a corker, from reports the engine in the GT is an absolute stonker, certainly from a few mates that have test ridden it, and their accounts, you're just fueling you're habit. Enjoy!

Capt Over Reaction and Monsieur Le Baron, vous etes absolutement spot on!

But guys, I thought the whole point of Bikes Annonymous was a strict order of abstinence and a one way ticket to a life of monastic masturbation over copies of Bike Magazine..but with holes cut in my pockets so the pennies aren't there to spend.

Now, for the first time, I can claim peer pressure.

Thanks for the enouragement!
