Crisis of confidence

[Nigel C]

my damn Ducati will give me a heart attack one of these days,
every year around this time i have a crisis of confidence (hope thats the right term)
can i afford the service ? can i afford new tyres? can i afford to keep the bike at all?.
I look at my monthly bills my credit card statements (my credit card only exists because i have the 748).
I even go as far as to write out an ad for my bike to try and sell it.
and what happens ?? I keep the damn thing for another year,:rolleye:

And the same thing is occuring right now !!.
I need new glasses, new contacts, a new crash helmet, a new jacket,a new fairing for the bike.
can i afford all this? I don't know how but i'll probably scrape through somehow.
And I expect i'll keep the 748 for another year again.

Bloody things got a vice like grip on me and won't let go

:o

you know it makes sense mate ....

Q: how can you wear glasses and contacts at the same time?
think of it this way u can wear the new helmet&jacket the 748 can wear the new fairing&tyres all at the same time ! is that not value for money? welcome to the ducati millionares club. it aint cheap but sit backand drool at it and it's worth every single shiny penny! (trust me i'm a shopfitter)

You go to work and give nearly half your money to the tax man
Then you pay all your obligatory bills, pole tax, gas, electricity, water rates.
Then you feed the family.
Now that’s what’s goner give you a hart attack.
Owning your 748 is for you, it, s the rest of it that’s a pain in the ass.
Try to look at the bike in relation to all your other expenses and it might look
better value for money.

Do you drink, smoke or do expensive drugs? No?? See, just think how much you'd be wasting on that if you did and they'ed have an even bigger grip on you :):)

Anyway, if Mr Visa is paying, why worry?? he's got more money then you'll have and can always extend his credit line until you're too old for Ducati's :)

Just think of all the pleasure it gives you.

Ever thought of bank robbery:lol: i have.

It would be quite nice to pay off the Barclaycard with their own money:lol:

Hope Rushjob doesn't read this post;)

Tried to get Kwikbitches post in here as well, (Feck it) I drink, smoke no drugs, cards maxed at the moment aswell bugger, cut down on the tabs this week, down to 10 instead of 20, cut down the beers, 1 can a night- I will do it, its all so I can put fuel in my tank !!

You get used to noodles after a while, chuck a few frozen peas in, can of tuna whatever, meal for pennies !

Right some more work to do and off to get my wheels out ready to fit my part worns, another £200 saved !

I'll buy you a beer on the Scotland trip ;)

My theory is simple, there are 5 things in life which take up spare cash, drink, fags, drugs, women and bikes. Pick 1 from 5 and its easy, 2 and you'll probably be comfortable, 3 better start being nice to bank manager, 4 oh, oh time to start worrying, all 5 - your having a fantastic time, why worry about how much its costing you probably wont live to pay it off :)
