Many congrats. I hope you'll both be very happy together. This may be a good time to explain to your wife/girlfriend that she may not be seeing quite so much of you, or your disposable income, in the future....
Funnily enought the only two other bikes I considered before buying the SL were an 1150GS and a Duke II. Do you ever use the ukgser message board?
Good luck and post some piccies when you get the chance.
Cheers,
Ali
