Let’s face it pook I’d rather be sacrificing buying a posh bike to marry a great woman.
Most STW’ers are single or angry in their relationships and own many bikes.
Sod that if that’s the option!
It doesn’t have to be a choice of one or the other.
I have several bikes and was riding many years before I met my wife. It’s a part of who I am and I don’t have to choose either a new bike or a decent wife – I have both. If she didn’t understand that biking is very important to me, then we wouldn’t have got married, but equally I don’t go mad (or maybe as mad as I could)
I have to agree that getting into debt to buy a bling bike is not a good thing to do – If you can’t afford to buy it you can’t afford to run it.
