I've been telling my wife that "it's only money" for over 47 years, but she still doesn't believe me

I can relate to that!

Well it was close I nearly had a early retirement package to get one with

I am surely thankful it was not you. I am very sorry for your co-worker.

The Adverturer is a dual sport bike - both highway and off road. By off road in a dual sport, it means unpaved roads, fire trails, gravel roads, etc. It does not mean motocross stuff like a stricly off road bike can do.



Hear! Hear!

Ahhh gotcha. Does sound interesting though. Let me get my T100, Speedster and then I will think about getting a tiger.

As you all have been talking, it is only money, LOL. My wife would kill me if I bought 2 bikes much less 3.

Been telling my wife the same thing about it only being money for 16 years, she just walks away and tells me when I make more money then tell her it is only money. GO FIGURE, lol

Everyone needs at least two motorcycles. What if one is in the shop? What will you ride? Seriously, there is a 2005 Bonnie for sale in Florida. If I get the Tiger Adventure, it will be in addition to my Bonnie. I just want to be able ride forest roads through the national and state forests. I do a little of that on my Bonnie - and my TR6 . The TR6 does a lot better than the Bonnie because it is lighter.

I am sure you will. That is really tough. Does he have any job prospects?

Not really but his daughter is in Australia so I think he will end up that side and with his skills should have no problem finding a job.

 

[CarlS]

You are most likely right; that is where he will probably go. The white flight continues.

 

[DaveM]

Yes and it will carry on with skills just being lost

 

[CarlS]

That is the real shame and the leadership is too stupid to realize it.

 

[DaveM]

What can I say, it's tough in Africa

 

[CarlS]

It's not just Africa; some South American countries make the same mistake.
