At risk of incurring someone's wrath, I suggest you get your bike dealer to tell you that he's giving you a discount - that $5,000 bike normally costs $6,000 dollars, so not only is it cheaper than an Aston Martin (and therefore a saving of $230,000!) it is a bargain, too! How could anyone in their right mind not want a saving of $231,000? Not buying the bike would be financial mishandling on an epic scale. That line of reasoning always seems to work as far as Jimmy Choo's are concerned, so I can't think of any reason at all why it shouldn't work for bikes too. Or am I being naïve?
