The real trick to look forward to is to have 123456 on the top row & 789 on the bottom. I got real pissed off last year, missed 55555 & 56789. Have got 99999 & 100000. from a previous bike, sad innit???

You've got to plan ahead on the trip odometer:

Oh, don't tell him that..... what's he gonna' do when the odo reads 140,000 or even worse 160,000- that's going to need a serious nitrous boost.

what I really want is 666 but that involves buying a new bike  I'm told by my financial manager (not part of the marriage vows but an immutable part of the job of being my wife) that this is a weak excuse for spending several thousand ££s. So I'll just have to concentrate on 123456...

Oh, you have one of those too? They really know how to throw a wrench into the works.
My criteria for MC purchase is how many will fit into the garage- all other factors are minor.
SWMBO has some other thoughts on the subject........

Wife said I could only have 2 bikes, so I got the best bikes I could get for the cheapest amounts possible.
Think I did ok.
My list is dependent on what will leave me with less puddles in the garage when I am going for a ride. That's it. No brand snobbery, no loyalty at all. It's a hunk of metal. It either works or it doesn't.

She Who Must Be Obeyed! Various cited origins...
Mine hasn't actually limited the number of bikes (yet) whereas guitars (another wee passion) are set at 4...
We don't have a garage so space is not an issue!
