Yeah now ask her how many shoes or purses she has.No, you just need a bigger "shed"!
Of course, there's my daughter in law's rule that I always break: "You only have one ass, so you don't need more than one bike!"

Wow! Cool that you think I'm brave enough to do thatYeah now ask her how many shoes or purses she has.
One of the few things good about being a widower is that I live with no one and therefore no such questions. I would be better off with someone to control me - I can't possibly live long enough to do something with all the bikes I have (23 I think). I noticed the other day that the license plate on one of my favorites expired in 2015 - I have a current plate for it and it is insured - a woman would likely give me hell for that silliness.That reasoning can lead to big headache , mostly I just casually announce another bike moving in , she has same 2 questions , do you have shed room , can you afford it …. I do move the bikes on sometimes as both questions asked are difficult to answer with more than 3 in shed together …

Ya, she lives 80 miles away and can't really do anything about it - I can handle a little long-distance ridicule and her head shaking when she visits and looks at my mess. Still, I just take it quietly, and don't ask anything about her purchases. For instance, she it religious about expiration dates and she considers "best by" dates to be expiration dates - she throws away dry spices and buys new before they "expire" - a massive lecture will ensure if you try to tell her it's silly. Ask me how I know!You said it’s your daughter in law and you break her rule
Beautiful bike - pick of the Trumpy lineup for me.I have recently (ish) found myself looking more and more favourably on the Thruxton.
Especially now they are more blacked out !
In particular, the TFC version. I have another TFC model and really do like the attention to detail that Triumph lavished upon them.
The TFC Thrux is looking more and more tempting.
Hopefully it’ll pass

Where's the fun in buying an actual TFC.You need to get this while it’s available for sale. As you know only 750 were available world wide. Would look great next to your TFC R3
Get the TFC thruxton. It’s the bike Stephen is trying hard to make his 961 into.
Just put the TTS on the TFCWhere's the fun in buying an actual TFC.
You should buy the standard Thrux, then spend your time converting it into an unauthorized, non-genuine, one off TFCsc.
Just like the faux JPNs that were made from spare and aftermarket components.
Oh yeah, add a TTS supercharger for the "sc."
Then you'd really have something!
Nigel I have really bad news for you about the Thruxton; those aren't real carburettors. Don't feel bad; most people are completely fooled by them.Nothing wrong with TTS’s on TFC’s

Oh yes and talking of TTS Dr. Frankenstein you know you will have to come clean at some point about your latest unholy creation?
The excellent Triumph Rocket3 which has more power and torque than anyone could ever want? At least nobody is daft enough to stick a supercharger on one of those!!! I could however carve you a lovely mahogany and rosewood fake supercharger to complement the Thruxton's fake carbs?There is no accounting for taste, just look what some folks do to R3 TFCs for goodness sake…!
A unit motor in a bed is a big no from meYes, yes and yes please! A classic bike with proportions that definitely work for me!
