Do the maths.
Its the best retail therapy I ever did.
Cost me, 8 days in a coma, 25 kgs, 12 ribs, collapsed lung.
Got Ventilator-associated pneumonia - that nearly settled everything!!!!
Man, if you buy a superbike, go to bike school, ride it on the track ONLY!!!
Only cruise on the road (impossible on a superbike)
Road burn will burn off all that hard won muscle like dieting with an angle grinder.
And regardless of where you relationship goes, you have no choice but to be here to be the best dad.
Follow Oupa, buy a something sedate and go cruising.
Me, I bought a child's toy - a bicycle and I get my jollies being a kid again.
Hence I'm now a feather weight, but still love bodybuilding.
I had a GSXR 750 a few years back... it was fun... but at below like 10 000 RPM it was no fun. And at 10 000 RPM you are doing probably 100km/h in first and 160km/h when you get to the redline in 2nd gear. So unless you are going to be on the open road you are doing crazy speeds through neighbourhoods to "enjoy" the bike and those bikes are built to be enjoyed. lol.
Sold it when I bought a house. Been wanting a bike since then again, but have decided to go with something in the vtwin class so that I can enjoy the pull of the motor without going crazy speeds through neighbourhoods (where I do most of my riding).
The other problem with the weekend warrior breakfast runs is that it doesn't happen every weekend... so you ride every second, third, seventh weekend. Your skills get "blunt" when you aren't riding and you have to "wake them up" again. Then you have varying skill levels riding together but everyone wants to be the fastest etc.
