Guest Nogbad Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 This is not one of those "I'm getting rid of my V11" threads. I am keeping the V11. My problem is an overwhelming temptation to buy a Buell Firebolt. There are some great deals out there, like just over £6K for a new one, and some cracking late model deals on used. But I've nowhere to keep a second bike unless I build a shed.......
v50man Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Nogbad -- Give up -- you're done for. I'm a strong man, but was no match for this overwhelming desire. Get the Firebolt and ride the piss out of it. I LOVE mine. I let two fellow Guzzisti and one BMW rider take it for a spin and they ALL want -- err -- NEED one now. Build a shed -- then fill it with Firebolt. America loves you. Seriously -- go for it. You won't regret it. v50man a proud Buell owner

We need a range of bikes on rental, then we try the Ural, deisel, velo solex, Firebolt, Jawa etc, spend the lustful leanings and not have to keep and support them. We can still stay with the one we love. Bit like having a lady of the night really. You can't say Guzzi riders (sorry Guy) are not open to other ways of biking. John

A mate of mine went down that route five years ago or so: the machine he built the shed for is long gone, and he's since restored a lathe and a pillar drill.
Guzzirider Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Just bite the bullet and buy it- I am sure you can make room in your lounge. Keeping my 900SS in the living room was one of the many causes of my divorce!! Guy
v50man Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Doc says I can try to ride again in a week. Ain't she purty at night?

Guest Nogbad Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 You are supposed to stop me throwing myself over the precipice into multiple bike ownership... Not push me over the edge. What kind of friends are you??
g.forrest Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 when the kids have gone, and then you use your dough for selfish wants.more bikes. because you can't have too many. 7 days in a week. over 7 is in disregard to family and gw. so be happy,and ride more often. thats my selfish philosophy.
Guzzirider Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Noggers You have been after a Buell for ages- like you say there are many deals out there so just buy it- it looks like nice bike. Nothing wrong with multi bike ownership- in fact its a good idea to have a back up bike for when your Guzzi is sick. No need for you to feel guilty- indulge yourself.
