Nowt so funny as partners

[steveindenmark]

I took walk round a bike shop in Flensburg with Jannie today. I was trying to sound her out for a new bike without her knowing. I was thinking along the lines of a Surly LHT. It soon became obvious she likes her Trek Lexa SL for touring.

"But I like this" she said. She then spent 30 minutes talking to the owner of the shop about the bike she likes. She then told me I needed the same bike because I had not bought a bike in ages and needed a new bike to keep up. I have bought 2 Kogas in the last year.

The bike she wants us to buy is a full Carbon, full Ultegra, Di2, Scott CR1 road bike.

If any guys out there is having trouble convincing your other half to let you have a new bike. Get in touch and I will send Jannie round.

Some of us wife types are very nice people and are happy to encourage our other halves to have lovely toys.

.....nyope, you are toast. Something has happened already. Has the milkman had a spring in his step lately?

Mr Pie,

You have me worried now because I have

3 Moto Guzzis
1 honda
2 Kogas
2 Kickbikes
1 Trek

It sounds like she is playing away more than Hull City

Either that or she wants a new kitchen. They always want a new kitchen. I mean, a kitchen's a fecking kitchen, why the hell do they want to spend six or seven grand so the drainer is on the other side of the sink? I don't demand a new garage because the bike hanger is two steps away from the tool cupboard.

 

[DCLane]

Can I borrow her please. SWMBO still thinks a bike should be under £50.

Nay, I want another cat
Seriously @steveindenmark your Jannie has expensive taste in bikes, I think you need to review your Christmas bike purchase for her

Eh? Think you've confused me with someone else there. Nowt to do with me. If you meant me.

New kitchen just installed, riding time now = tiling time

Almost, we've had one of them so it's a new bathroom now.

 

[steveindenmark]

Jannie and a new kitchen....I doubt it. :0). She would rather have a motorbiking holiday in Italy.

Pat, what Jannie said was that she doesnt smoke or drink or have an expensive car and she can afford an expensive bike if she wants one. Its nice to be in this position.

I've never understood the lure of a new kitchen, unless the original kitchen is totally manky and even then it's a B&Q special. I'd much rather have a new bike than a new kitchen. Then again, I don't want to be a slave to the cooker, dishwasher and other domestic gadgets and I have no friends that are either.
