My bike and some £££££ 4 a scooby?
Thinking of saying goodbye to my my bike
Its a 03 zx636 in blue 1000 miles on it micron can,double bubble screen,mini indicators front and rear,rear seat cowl,bar ends,body protectors,data tool alarm,and a **** end kit this bike is less than a year old.
I will trade my bike and some ££ if the right scooby comes along

Dont do it!!!
Learn from my lesson!
I did exactly the same as you, MUST,just MUST have a Scooby.....bought one, the day I had the first mods done(exhaust and filter) I drove it home, it sunk in how much I missed the bike...id had the car a total of 6 weeks and it was up for sale
I used the car in the same manner as the bike, just used it purely for blasts in the evening and at weekend, it was good, to a point, but not a patch on the fun of a bike, the camaraderie, the runs out, the ownership, the whole motorcycling thing
Let alone the cost saving, you wont believe how much fuel a scoob can consume used the way intended, and there much more to insure, my Hayabusa is cheap to own/run in comparison
Ideally id have both!, but if you’ve gotta choose between one or the other , keep the ZX!.Youll miss it! Especially mid-summe

Not going to the right meets then
brybusa, i had a gsxr600k2, but after 3 months some **** killed her for me, wanted the new R1, wife wasn't too happy so asked for a scooby instead, and to my delight she said yes.Why did she say yes, cos, another bike could spell another crash, 3rd time might not be here to tell u about it, but with the scooby the whole family can enjoy her, even let the missus drive her
we have had the scoob now for 10 months and have made loads of new friends along the way. so go on and buy one, u won't be sorry 
The NBO is just around the corner m8

Going out with the wife and kids in the scoob? Aghh.....what a yawn
And Yes, I have the g/f /kid thing, but the bike is a relief from all the stress's of life and a break from them!
I like the thrill of driving or riding fast, not sitting around in a car park yapping about the latest neons and prodrive dust caps
Bike may be more dangerous, but its miles more fun than any car.
I guess when ya lose ya bottle, theres not a lot you can do about it...
x'er and a car may well keep you happy,just make sure you get a well modded one, as after a bike there slow,heavy,understeering piles of doo as standard
Oh, and the brakes last about 10mins of flat out driving before terminal brake fade sets in..
Good luck!

A couple of points.............
How can a woman/wife/partner even get to the stage of telling/advising you on what toy you should buy, how can any man let a woman decide this major factor of freedom, bin her and get a grip of your relationship, as for driving/riding your toy tell her to **** off.
My missus does not even touch my stereo in my car, handlebar grip of the bike, they can not and should not be trusted with anything other than a tea towel and baby.
Typical whinney, sell it,its dangerous arguement to back up the fact you aint good enuf to ride or handle or even try to master summat as challanging as a bike.
Join the bland crowd of car owners and faceless traffic, just pull over when the bikes *** past will ya? Cheers

Each to there own guys i love bikes still. but for the amount of time i get to use it i cannot justify the cost of the bike and the insurance involved at least with a nice car i will be able to use it more often
no matter What ever people think as long as its right for you thats all that matters

Its called compromise. Its called not being selfish. Its called being a man.
Actually you are right, but we all have to grow up sometime I guess. I ain't had a bike since I got banned for speeding

sold my cbr6 last year (when already owning the scooby) and have never looked back.
the hants-mob impreza boys and girls are a great bunch and with a few carefully chosen mods theres not a million miles in it.
I really thought i'd miss it but I dont.
I may still get a bike again but theres no rush as the DAS is on my license for about 45 years

In reply......
Im proud of my g/f and kid 2.But owning a sportsbike is summat far prouder than a car...performance that as a car owner you can only read about in a car magazine
Dont be flying around in that car, or do anything remotely dangerous, we dont want"law comes round to ur house to tell ur wife ur lying seriously ill in hospital with multipul fractures, not much fun then"..Bottler......
Cant stand neons?, but when you sell the "car" youll feel compounded to put in the ad"only ever run on optimaxZzzzzzzzzzz
raining? Take the car, any car, theres what there for.
Buy an R1 tomorow? But youve lost yer nerve, what about "when law comes round to ur house to tell ur wife ur lying seriously ill in hospital with multipul fractures"
"after a bike there slow,heavy,understeering piles of doo as standard"
yep, got to agree on that,cos u will end up spending *lots*more dosh(for life in the slow lane)
No brake fade yet? Youve either got an (v.expensive)upggade, or not trying hard enuf.(Wife n' kids spoiling the ride?)
Only kidding(a bit) , enjoy what ever you get..just keep an eye out for your old biking buddies, and hide that jealousy when your stuck in the traffic!
