Better ask SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) first and she what she has to say. Better yet, get her sort out with her dream bike first, then make your pitch. :lol:
Always ask why.

Ah, those are great, great bikes... I've drooled over one in the UK and really thought it would be my next bike, but after sitting on one (more like on-top of one), they just don't have the comfort factor I was looking for... but design wise.. ah, but what a beautiful piece of art! :D

True enough and the color is fanastic (to me anyways)... but I might just go the way of a classy Bonneville T100 too (as I don't have to put up with a cold engine here in Houston!) haha. :D

Welcome to America, where all of your education, skills, and abilities mean nothing because you learned them in another country and America does everything better than everyone else!

Oh I almost forgot to add.

If you spend a day in traffic court you'll see at least 5 people with DUIs or DWIs get to keep their license because the judge doesn't want to rob them of their means of getting to work. Also my brother in law has 10 (Ten) points on his license and his insurance costs close to $8,000 a year. But they won't revoke his license because he would not be able to get to work. Also yes he got all of those points hitting people, other cars, and inanimate objects.

But your from Canada so unless your here to teach me how to play hockey or get maple syrup your wrong about everything else :P

YAY AMERICA!

FWIW I've had a lot of points on my license before, but not one of them for an accident. I just like putting the hammer down too much lol.

Also, my neighbor is a 19 year old kid who has 2 DUIs, an accident, no license, suspended jailtime, and still drives daily... Very tempting to just spike his tires every time I see his car.
