Self control

[guest18]

Anyone else have a problem with self control when it comes to finance & bikes etc :/
I've been idly glancing at Ebay and an MT500 has come up within tripping distance of me.. and I like them.. and I can't afford it.. but I could lay hands on the cash (yet more credit).. I shouldn't......



This is stupid and I know it.... but I'm tempted anyway!

Go On  !     You know you want one !!

That's the problem not the solution lol

[guest18]

Mind you... I *could* just go for a look, you know, see what it's like. Probably pretty rubbish, and then I wouldn't be tempted to bid for it..... maybe....

I know the feeling,that's how I ended up with the XT.Although hopefully the man who pressed 'buy it now' for my XJ will turn up tomorrow and at least I will get some room in my garage.

Aye Smudge,

I'll no go against you! Enough grief in the workshop without acquiring something else.

Must apply myself so that I can reduce the current 'stock' in the first place.

what about  "club bikes"   if something comes up at ebay or otherwise thats rare or worth to get , then  everybody puts in a certain amount of money and in return gets the right to use it   
so nobody gets into huge depts and can have the joy to ride a bike he would love to ride

Nice idea - club bikes - but do not let me look after them - I will just add to the pile of boxes in the shed...

Yup, nice idea but the admin would be a nightmare, not to mention the politics! We are such a widely spread club geographically that it would always be unfair to someone, plus who has time to look after *another* bike? I reckon most club members have too many vehicles/projects already
However if anyone would like to buy a club Manx then please do and I'll happily wash it at the rally in return for a blast on the rideout

true was a nice idea but i can see the point ..so we stick to our own depts ...aeh i meant bikes and projects  :-)))

Oi - cats, even those with no tail - generally do not like being washed, let alone blasted on rideouts..

I thought he meant a wash'n'drive-by (shooting that is!). Is that how they lost their tails in the first place?

From what I read rumor has it that two manx cats where late for the Ark and had their tails chopped of as Noah shut the door.

[guest27]

Nah Noah was into vivisection for vivisections sake
