Like a similar post I waited till I was 40 till I got my first bike. Was a bit reckless in my earlier years. When I mentioned that I wanted a bike I got a big NO from the wife and ALL family members. The way I look at life is that it is too short to not enjoy it. I mentioned Harleys first as they are double the price and the answer was they are too expensive. I then brought up the Triumph case that it was half the price ($16000 on road). Without approval I went and bought the bike anyway. All family members including the wife absolutely love the bike. Sadly I have lost friends and family over the years before their time and some of them didnt get to do all they wanted to do in life. I am me and I am making sure that I do what I can before my time is up. As a side note I have not excluded my wife from my new passion. I have asked her to join me and even learn to ride herself. Would you beleive I am not allowed to sell the virago 250 because she says that is her new bike.
