The wife's the one who pushed me to go ahead and put down a deposit rather than wait and think about it.

In part, I do have to justify it to her since it's her resources I'll be spending. That's for my own reasons, though, not because she requires that I justify anything to her.

There are already 2 cars, a Vespa, 2 Monsters, and a big ol' tractor in the barn and only 2 drivers. 3 Ducatis and a scooter would make no sense at all.

A shame you have to sell her bike.

Her bike? You sure? I think it's his the one that's getting sold... He's getting a new one.....

I wasn't being sarcastic-it is a shame.


In fact, I think I'm going to sell your bike.

I only have one as well. One of them is my wife's, and she'd kneecap me if I tried to sell it.

Didn't you steal her 620 and then trade it on a 696...

and only then buy her a new bike? ;D

No, it's worse than that!

I started this whole ridiculousness with a 620 a few years ago. My wife then wanted a bike of her own and kept finding fault with anything that wasn't a Monster, but we eventually found a really nice 696 for her. I felt lust in my heart so went out and found my own 696 and sold my 620.

She wrecked her 696 last year so we recently bought a leftover '09 696 for her. Barely 2 weeks later I've ordered the MTS1200S so am now planning to sell my 696, when it would have made much better financial sense for her to have taken my perfectly-good 696 and for me to wait, bikeless, for the Multi. If only I were better at predicting the future!

So, basically, since we started with a 150cc Vespa in December of 2005, by the end of this summer we will have been through a total of 4 Monsters and a Multistrada. They say the first hit won't hurt you, but they just say that to get you hooked...

I was certain you were culpable... [laugh]
