Well hubby is 28, and he said he thinks he had a midlife crisis...

Hubby has always loved motorbikes, but he got rid of his before he met me and he was alway on about getting another - and last year i agrees he could get one for a max of £1500 - well he eventually saw an offer at a local motorbike dealer - for a suzuki sv650 for 4999 - so He decided he was getting one of those coz it was 0% fiance... i wasn't too happy .. as it was alot of money adding and extra 150 a month to our outgoings - at this point i was 7 months preg - and i said thanks i won't be able t go out on it now, as i didn't feel i could go out on it once baby was here - it so easy to get wiped out on a bike by other idiots. I wasn't too happy but never really got a say - once he see something or gets an idea then he ets it.
Well a yr later the bike has a grand total of 250 miles total on the clock - not even run in properly - and we have decided to get a bigger boat - so i said to Tom you really have to consider whether the bike is needed as it only benefits you and no one else, and its not getting used - tax and inxurance for only afew hundres miles is expensive.
We remortaged in the spring so at least that has cleared some depts but now we are selling the bike - no body has shown any interest at all - so we've lost money on the bike and wasted money on insurance ect!!
I just wish he had stuck to the 1500 then it would n't have been so bad!!
Any one wanna bike!!! :wall:
MEN!!
 
why dont you sell it on ebay with a very high reserv wich will never be met and whoever bids on it and you think the price is ok give thema seccond chance offer on it??

only way i can see you get rid of it unless someone is really wantinga bike but dont think you will get all your money back for it hun

good luck and let me know what you decide to do

xxxxxxx
 
we've got it on ebay at the moment - i can see us holding on to it for a while if it doesn't sell,
I think its too new, if that make sense.?
 
My OH bought an old classic bike, spent loads of money getting it up and running, now it has sat in my parents garage for the last year. Great.

Hope you sell it soon

xx
 
Yay sold it!
guy is picking it up tomorrow!
shame to see it go, coz i've never got out on it :(
 
Once a biker always a biker hun. My OH sold his the day he met me and has regretted it ever since, he still pines! I dont mind him getting one if thats what he wants to do but he had the bike of his dreams, a BMW GS and let her go and not much else takes his fancy.
