CB,

Boy no matter where you are from, wife's appear to be the same. I guess they all come from the same mold.


Monday night is motorcycle night on TV. (about the only night I watch tv) On Twist of the Throttle they covered MV Agusta and the making of the F4. Now normally I get major grief from the wife for watching the bike shows.

But last night she was quite and appeared to be listening to the show.

The show went into great detail about how much time and personal attention goes into the making of each bike and how much design effort Tamburini spends with the bikes etc etc,

My wife turned to me and said "How much for this bike?" I told her last years model went for $25,000. She said with all the effort that goes into the bike that is not that much money, How do they make a profit?

(Even though my wife rides her own Piaggio, she has no concept on how much the bikes cost.)

I told her that a Honda sports bike goes for around $10,000 and a 848 Ducati goes for around $13,500 so you are paying for this custom made bike.

Well I knew better than to say well if you feel this way lets go buy an F4. (bait the hook and run)

So I said I would be just tickled pink to pick up a used Ducati for around $5000.

Her comment to me was, You already have a Ducati, Why would you want another one. I told her that the one I wanted rides much differently etc, etc.

I got rolling of the eyes from the wife.

I'm amazed!!! Perhaps, it was raining .
