XTreme 7,362 Posted Monday at 10:42 Share Posted Monday at 10:42 Heed body bars HERE! Got to figure out some bullshit excuse to the wife as to why it's critical for me to get these.......avoidance of death and dismemberment, bad knees, old age etc etc. Thing is after nearly 40 years she's just about heard them all.......so I got to work hard on this one! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Earache 2,486 Posted Monday at 15:41 Share Posted Monday at 15:41 Tell the wife you need somewhere to add some LED spots and the crash bars are perfect mount points. You're getting older and yuour eyes' night vision isn't what it once was. Ohh, and you'll be needing another 350 quid for lights as well. There. Sorted. She'll believe it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Problem with that is I never ride at night Eric.......too dangerous here with wild animals on the road. 2 years ago, a Dutch mate on a Varadero hit a wild boar at 2AM in the morning on a deserted country road. He was unconscious in the road for 4 hours till an early morning farmer found him. He spent 2 weeks in Granada Hospital and his Varadero was totalled. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Fallsalot 2,617 Posted Monday at 16:19 Share Posted Monday at 16:19 Just tell her there's nothing left to polish on the bike and adding these will keep you from getting under her feet for a few hours, once you've explained that she'll probably buy them for you 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, only our animals would eat you if you were lying unconscious on the road for very long. Can't pass up a free snack when it's offered! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
