My wife is an amazing, gorgeous woman, I have very few rules to abide by.

There is one regarding vehicles… One in, one out.

Yesterday I picked up a bargain 2005 FZ6 for £725, long mot, new tyres, serviced.

So the TDM had to go, advertised it at 14.00, bought and collected ay 17.00.

I think I will enjoy the fz, it’s not a patch looks or sound wise on the TDM though, missing it already.

Wife is more than worth keeping happy.

So without a TDM, do I stay or go ?

Is there a ‘rule’ ?

😁

Why go, you'll end up with another TDM before long anyway, no one escapes that easily.

I fear you may have chosen unwisely. Like others on here ,who went on an expensive motorcycle changing experience only to end up back on a TDM. Bikes needed is always N+1
