Very good.

I'm selling my car after pressure from the missus. Taking up too much space, a waste of money just sitting in the garage and I need to grow up apparently. I'm replacing it with a Honda Fireblade

I have already looked at getting a bike and she is o.k with that as she says it does not cost so much to run it!
I was hoping it would p!ss her off going down that road but seems to have back fired on me
