Nat.. (Not got a wife, so not got that problem!)

I've not got an Optimate either, so the fact that the bike started on the button was a major surprise. All the more so because I've put the best battery on my other bike since it is used the most.

The Strada's the next best thing to a new one, and I'll be really gutted when it eventually goes. If only I had the space to keep it! (It's still stored in my sister's garage at the moment, and I feel a pang of guilt every time her hubby has to park his car outside!)

If the truth were told though, this bike has to be a better long-term 'investment' than any MV, since they're already at the top of the heap value wise. I can't imagine they'll rise much beyond their current values. On the other hand, surely the 888 can only appreciate. Time will tell, eh?

(Oh, and I'd rather break my leg than break this bike..!!)
