Halfdoesyn Posted February 24, 2017 Share The solution is not to resist, but just go with it. You will have a happier life. Less family and riches, but happier. Dullscalpel, jules1976 and Geronimo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted February 24, 2017 Share I exhibit all of those symptoms. Ai, what to do... I know, buy another bike The most important thing you've done is to break the denial Now...Lock up your credit card (like a nuclear football) where access to it requires the authorisation of 14 people.

Red Robin Posted February 24, 2017 Share That is some fine advice! MMm wish I had been given that advice.....I naively thought that once you bought the bike, kit etc. that you were then done. It is so not like that! Dullscalpel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTom Posted February 24, 2017 Share I naively thought that once you bought the bike, kit etc. that you were then done. Me too. I also thought thought the cost would be way less than owning a motorcycle. Red Robin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfdoesyn Posted February 24, 2017 Share I am so broken. I used to discuss purchases with my wife. Now, I find myself sneaking around, buying parts and accessories behind her back, hiding my stuff in the garage, under a tarp. Sometimes I get confronted and have to lie about things. At first it was hard, but now it just slips out like second nature. "Oh that, no I just borrowed it from Peter" and "It was cheap. Cycle computers are like R60" are the kind of things I would say to her. This is so messed up. The only way I feel better is on my bike, wind in my face, feeling the freedom. It puts a smile on my face and a warmth in my heart I can't explain. I feel so torn apart! Hi. My name is Halfdoesyn and I am a sufferer.

I have seen some increased activity on my credit card when I have indulged in my habit in the past. This 'Sorbet' my wife swipes the card at must make one mean Sunday. Who pays R2000 for Ice cream?!

s14phoenix Posted February 24, 2017 Share When things really go bad is when you start inventing new genre/types of cycling so you need more bikes for fulfilling those needs... kinda how "enduro' came about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
