Forward planning is required.
We bought the FD an new vehicle a few weeks ago - made a huge fuss about it, took her on a 4x4 training course, and all is well.
I showed the FD the sneak preview pics of the new GSA-LC released earlier this week - said that THAT would be a great bike to have, when it comes out, and after the first release niggles have been sorted...... Leave that to rest for a while.....
Timing is everything, I will accidently walk past a bike at BMW with her in the future......
