I am really really trying to take a pragmatic approach to this, but seeing as the bike is, for me, a major investment then obviously my emotions do get the better of me once in a while. At one stage I had even thought of cutting my losses and trading in for a honda blade, but it's the soul of the duke that makes me stick at it. I even mused about making a statement with the bike and having it blown up on some men and motors type prog, just to try and get a point across. There is no emoticon for my current mood. |
