johnsnownw Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 the wife is preggos. This is a new one. She told me I cannot tell anyone we know, personally, but that I could tell you lot. So, you're the first to know...
Moderator Airhead Posted April 11, 2011 Moderator Posted April 11, 2011 Congrats on the happy news mate, may all your troubles be little ones as they say
Moderator drewpy Posted April 11, 2011 Moderator Posted April 11, 2011 congrats mate! buy your biking gear NOW! trust me, the next slot will be in 15 years time!
johnsnownw Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks guys. Drewpy, there is already discussion about reducing our bikes to 1. The Yam would stay and the Triumph would go...we'll just have to see. I'm aiming to keep both, but the fact is that the Triumph is at the stage where selling it wouldn't lose us any money. *sigh* I took it for a nice long ride today, and I don't think I can get rid of it.

johnsnownw Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks again guys. It hasn't really sunk in yet, I guess because she's only a month along. For all you in Scotland, you might see me tearing up the roads in a few years. She's going to try to do her Cardiovascular Fellowship in Glasgow. At my urging of course.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 12, 2011 Moderator Posted April 12, 2011 She sounds all Heart.........................

Moderator mervin Posted April 12, 2011 Moderator Posted April 12, 2011 Congratulations mate this could be the answer
johnsnownw Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Merv, I'll be showing that to the wife when she gets home. We'll see if she goes for it!
xv535 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Congrats John. I've got two daughters...the race is on...Have three and you win!! Based on the picture you posted of your daughter sitting on your bike there might be a couple of years spread there, eh? Can you still remember how to change diapers? It's a bitch having to sell one of the bikes, but it could have been worse, eh. She may have said sell the bike and the handguns. Perhaps you should have stuck to shooting the handgun! Rocky

Rocky Thanks, but this is my first, mate. I cannot remember who posted the daughter on the bike, but if that was me I would have had to have her in my teens, which I did not. The wife does want three, but you might get there before me. Unless we happen to have twins and I sure as hell hope that doesn't happen.
Moderator Cynic Posted April 13, 2011 Moderator Posted April 13, 2011 Welcome to the club, getting in takes but a moment and there are many good points and a few bad, its the cost of membership that really hurts. Oh and for what its worth, don't ask em to throw a couple of extra stiches in on the big day. They don't find it funny
2 Wheels Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I'd be reluctant to sell one of me bikes (as would everyone), but for the few bob you would get for the bike-----it wont go far. The price of things baby related is crazy and your bike money will be eat up in no time. Then you will be left without your bike,,,the money all gone,,,,and nothing to show for it. Try to hang on to the bike and look for something else you can sell. Save hard rather that sell one of your bikes Thats my 2cent worth !
