I only hope the price isn't too high or SWMBO will have something to say I'm sure

Common Rich, I can't believe you're thinking of getting rid of that nice comfy Beemer for something that will make your cheeks hurt.

I think I'll be keeping the Panzer Howard. After 20yrs of marriage my wife has finally taken an interest in biking. We've had a trip to Hein Gericke to buy her the right gear and after a couple of local trips out, so far she loves it! (no one more surprised than me) She loves the comfort of the panzer and the Tuono would be a non-starter for any pillion work
No, if I can wangle the funds for a Tuono V4 it'll be
my weekend blast machine and it can hurt my cheeks any time

I've spent 50% of my life riding motorcycles, the rest I've wasted!

Hope you can get the funds together Rich, it would be a great combination.
Wish I could get my missus out on a bike occasionally, but she's only ever shown an interest in the big older Beemer tourers or a Gold Wing. Something with an armchair, heated seat and stereo.
Sadly they're a step too far for me in finance and riding, plus (
sadly), they'd never fit in the garage.
