    I have no idea what was going through his head, nearly £16k with all the bits he had as extra.

    His wife is on holiday and he hasn't told her yet.

    Oh, and he hasn't ridden a motorcycle since a Puch magnum we had as kids 30 years ago.

    anyone here a motorcycle instructor near stamford?

    Is 36 and only married 9 months really a mid life crisis?

    I think it is a man with too much money and left alone for a fortnight.

    At least he works in IT, so should fit in perfectly with the crowd.

    Nah, no problem. After a year of marriage to a previous Mrs GP, I went to the IOM TT with my best mate and she went to the beach with her cousin, That marriage lasted well over a year after that

    He is having a pillion seat on it.

    In his/her defence, she has been in Australia to organise selling the property that he owns there, she is a teacher so was off work, he spends all week in Switzerland so they are usually apart all week anyway.

    He has just asked me if I can give him some pre CBT lessons next weekend, I think my crosser will be a bit of a shock.

    Is that code for "lets go to a strip club so I can drop £600 on helga"? It would fit with the whole mid life crisis thing

    One of his mates at work must have one. Either that or he watched too much American Chopper.

    One of my best mates at work passed his DAS and bought one similar to that, then rode down to Faro on it 2 weeks later................ at least its now something you will have in common (albeit a tenuous link )

    His money, his choice, he's less likely to put himself to a wall at 120 on that. Still its going to lots of shoe shoping to get away with that one

    Could have been worse, he could have bought a motorcycle.

    He's coming out and it's easier to tell everyone that way than actually saying it.

    At least he won't hurt himself on that barge, not unless he drops it on his leg getting it out of the garage.
