    I'm Gonna Have .......

    ...... A BABY!!!!!


    (well not me, the other half! )

    Just had to announce my news I'm afraid. It'll be my 1st, although I am step-father to 2 other lovely kids, so I'm very vey excited as you can tell

    Only ONE downside ... We just found out today, which is all well & good, but only yesterday we had spent the whole day in motorcycle dealerships trying to get the Mrs (Jo) on the 1st rung of the 2-wheel ladder. We were gonna book her in for a CBT this week then try to get her on an intensive bike course to get her a license for the summer. We had pretty much bought her a bike too ... Triumph Bonneville. Even bought her a Triumph jacket in readiness

    Think everything is gonna go on the back burner now and although its a very fair trade off, she's obviously disappointed I'm sure. But we've not stopped smiling all day so all is GOOOOOOOD

    I've made it clear however ..... MY BIKE IS STAYING!! Am not trading it in for buggies, cots & car seats

    Re: I'm Gonna Have .......

    Thanks everyone for your replies & well wishes etc ..

    Lowflyer - Please the silencer is still performing well for ya Totally forgot I sold that on here!

    Nomad - Well the future Mrs Pooh wants a mini version of me! I havent got the heart to tell her what a little sh1t I was as a child! I would be quite happy with either. Jo already has a 6 year old daughter so I guess I am having my fill of barbie dolls and fairies and all that girly stuff, so a boy would be quite nice. Either way, I'll get em on 2 wheels as soon as poss

    Chad - Haha And yes think the KTM did something for the little fellas I test rode a KTM 990 Supermoto yesterday. Absolutely the most crazy, powerful, responsive bike I ever rode!! Totally BONKERS!! Now can I attach some Zega boxes to one?? Hmmmm ?? Imagine the sperm count then!!

    Congrat's to both of you

    Think about doing the DAS course anyway (before Jo gets too big,) if you leave it till after this year it will be a different ball game.
    Then again you won't have much time for a few years
