So, last night my wife tells me she wants me to sell... her bike. I bought her a 06 Suzuki Savage for her birthday, last Oct. I'm kind of bummed that she doesn't want to move off the pillion pad. But I guess, having her ride pillion is better than leaving her behind.

So now I need to find a good home for this great starter bike. I hate selling vehicles and dealing with people. LOL!

If she's anything like my wife, that's a toss up!

hope you find a buyer for the suzy. yeh my wife used to ride but nowdays, she just wants to ride along. One reason why I'm looking hard at the new Tbird, and power options for the Speedie. My buddies were gonna chip in for a tshirt that reads "if you can read this the b**** fell off" nuff said.


ride when I can, work when I have to

hmmm, I'm not really sure why this got moved to the Classified area, since I'm not trying to sell the bike here. I was just saying that I'm bummed my wife would rather ride pillion. This means that I now have to practice finding the optimum speed for changing gears. 1st stop goes like this... Is everything all right? You were going kind a slow. 2nd or 3rd stop will warrant a request to slow down a bit. Summers coming Andy, so I might be getting that shirt before it's over. LOL!

I think it's a power thing.

Yeah, be grateful for that. After our daughters crash last summer, my wife wants nothing to do with riding. Almost makes me want to sell the bike sometimes.
