I sold my 950 Adventure back in March as it was never used for its primary purpose and with two young kids my rides where getting shorter and shorter (shattering of Dakar dreams). Im sorry to say that the money from the adventure went towards a new laundry room for she who must be obeyed . Fast forward two weeks ago and we are sitting on a beach in the Turks and Caicos for our anniversary.
I lean over. "I have something to tell you". She looks shocked and puzzled as we had just had a big row. "Ive been keeping something from you". Now she looks worried.
"I bought a SuperDuke, its waiting for me when we get back"
a puzzled look.
"you mean you bought another bike?"
"another orange fooking bike?"
"Yes"
I wait for the rage.
"I hope your disability insurance is paid up"
"you should have got a Ducati this time"

waiter, another drink please. And yes, its orange.
