I have recently killed my wife and cashed in the life insurance.
I have ?250,000 to spend after paying off the mortgage, what shall I get? I have to replace the patio first but otherwise it can all go on bike stuff.

    Well done on killing the wife domtyler and welcome to the forum.

    Whilst œ250,000 is a decent budget for a starter bike, you'll probably need to stretch it to œ300,000 to get something really special. Do you have any children or kidneys you could sell to make up the shortfall?

    Ironically, my wife recently killed me for the insurance money. Since my death, I have tried many of these fancy, new fangled materials that they use for bikes nowadays but, have found a good old fashioned cloud is the best way to get around. It is fast and light and climbs like a dream. The only drawback is it evaporates very quickly causing me to occasionally plummet into the pit of fire.

    P.S I don't wear a helmet.

    Leave your wife's bottom sticking up through the patio, and you have somewhere to park your bike [:)]

    Great idea Fnaar, unfortunately it is too late for that. She was a big Smiths fan in her day so as a final mark of respect I whacked an ornamental Gladioli in there.

    Monty D, I am interested. I can send you the money through Western Union straight away.

    I work for a drugs company, or at least I do for another 12 weeks, one of the branches of the company makes an EPO. So I suggest you buy my old racing bike (lets say œ100), then spend the rest on doping products which I could probably get hold of, nudge, nudge, say no more[;)]

    You will be riding a s<font face="Andale Mono">hi</font id="Andale Mono">te bike, but that will just confound your mates as you tear off up everything like a rat up a drain-pipe[^] The other advantage is, you will be so wacked off your head you won't remember you were married, so won't feel sudden guilt pangs[:D]



    This is strictly between us mind, I know where you live and I seem to remember the patio was plenty big enough for two[}:)]
