andretraut Posted August 20, 2010 Share I am trying to justify my envisaged procurement of a Pinarello Dogma with a Most Lightweight wheelset in the nearby future (my absolute dream bike!), and then came across a very interesting story in the Mail and Guardian online, which obviously explains my endeavors to always want the very best in bikes and gear. I gave a copy of the article to my wife, and she is not keen on the Pinarello, but would rather see me on top of a Dogma than a 20 year old bimbo with boobs the size of my Rudy Project helmet! http://www.mg.co.za/article/2010-08-17-flash-bikes-and-that-midlife-thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Atom Posted August 20, 2010 Share Believe me the Dogma will be cheaper than the bimbo in the long run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted August 20, 2010 Share And less hassles. At least the Dogma will not be so demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted August 20, 2010 Share Have to agree with blanc there..... will be fun with the bimbo in the short term but lots of K@K later..... stick with the bike - at least your wife will know 'who' it is you are cheating on her with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZRider Posted August 20, 2010 Share Tell your wife you want a Harley with all the trimming. Insist upon it. Leave catalogues lying about.Then give up on that idea, sigh and subtly let her know how much cheaper and healthier a Dogma is My friends, going through their mid life crisis, have bought: A Porche Boxster, a jet powered ski boat, and a gyrocopter. Bicycles (even Dogmas) are cheap compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 20, 2010 Share For a mid life crisis, you are meant to grow a pony tail and buy a Harley or a Porche or similar, not a bicycle!!. I mean honestly, thats just letting all us other "mid lifers" down.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted August 20, 2010 Share Get the Dogma but "sacrifice" the Lightweights for Boras and the wife will think have been sensible and saved money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasping Posted August 20, 2010 Share It does seem a bit unfair: men get new cars, new bikes and perhaps a new "secretary". Women get hot flushes and emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
