3 weeks and counting...... (clap)

Even rarer in France I should expect ?

Have you ordered it in S,,,, Red, as in the image ?

So hang on...

You've got your own place.
In another country.

You have a cracking bike and are thinking of getting another.

You have a gorgeous, bike-riding wife.

You have awesome dogs.

Your Kids are all grown up and not arguing about who left the felt tip pen lids off.

And now you've ordered the world's sexiest roadster?



You lucky lucky twat!

Salsa Red V6s (380hp) with gloss black 20 " cyclone alloys and almost all the toys... I think it's certainly rarer in France, plus even more expensive so I've sourced it through Jaguar UK, saved a fortune.

Wrong on 3 counts.

I'm only a twat.
I've had to give up on a second bike, due to my extravagance (and anything else tbh). (wasntme)
The kids now argue about clothes and that the other one is being favoured (wasntme) but at least I can put the phone down as they are usually at uni doing it. Oh, and one of them spends her life crashing her car (punch)

In all seriousness, this isn't an easy purchase but I've seen people I care about die, get nasty diseases or have close shaves. Rather than save throughout my life (which I've done for 15 years) I said stuff it.....As I get older my attitude to life changes, if I didn't own something like this it wouldn't make much difference to my life, but it allows us to explore Europe in style. I am lucky yes, much of which I've made myself, long may it continue. :)

Bloody exciting though.

If there is something you really want to to do, make it happen, your a long time dead. Life is too short. (f)

F**kin' oath!

You have made your own luck, through hard work, good decisions, sacrific and resistant where needed.

I came from a dirt poor background and have worked my way to where I am, some stuff ups along the way, but I've got there in the end. It totally shits me when someone turns around and says "oh your so lucky, it not fair".

Good on you Cookie and enjoy the hell out of that beast (y)

Same boat as you Spud!

Keep eyeing up a 675 or 600RR, but I pull the Daytona out the garage and can't bring myself to do it! The 675 is far superior in almost everyway, but I just love the Daytona too much!

In the 5 1/2 years I've had 6 cars....all of which I got bored of. Daytona's still there though!
