Save your money cuz you'll sure as hell need it later for the child.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and you better get all the riding in you can now because you wont be riding as much after the child is born.

Sell the bike. You won't be needing it before the kid is 7 or 8 and can learn to ride too. Even then, by his teen years, he'll never wanna be seen with you and will be sleeping in until noon and staying out all night with the girls. Face it, your life as you knew it is now over. You can fight the bit and buck a bit, making it tough on yourself, or you can just domesticate and get used to that idea.

Ok so you all think option 4 carbon nappies a fmf pram and a ron black modified changing matt
on the other hand my pipe's ucked a new carb boot is $95 plus the carb needs a overhaul as its about 20 years old about $50 a new pwk 35mm is $350 so it works out about $200 to change the carb for the new one
ive all ready got a new carb boot that fits the 35mm carb the dealer got the wrong one and wont take it back and im thinking that the reeds are also old so now would be a good time to fix it the money is coming from some fishing rods ive sold and i would like to have it done before the little one come's
