If someone offered to pay you £10million in cash, no tax, yours to do with however you please, except there's one condition...

You're never allowed to own or ride another bike again. There's no way around it, you either take the £10million and can't ride a bike or you decline the offer.

What do you do?

Take the cash, fuck bikes.

I'd probably get some fast cars for kicks and maybe a mountain bike or a jet ski if I felt the need to fall off something.

Where do I sign up for the offer?

I'd take the £10m and attach a token third wheel (some small castor wheel that would never actually touch the ground) to any bike I wanted to use. Wink

Bikes are ok, but there's plenty of other fun things to do - though none of them get you through traffic quite as well!

£10m gets you a fair bit, but could still be easily spent on a nice house, especially if you want one in London.

I'd take 10 grand let alone a million. I could honestly live with never throwing my leg over the saddle again, Im on the verge of selling the Hayabusa and giving the whole lot up so if anyone wants to make me an offer to never ride again...... Laughing

Yeah, £10million is allot of money but some people really don't care about money and would rather ride a bike.

I would probably take the money and just buy some super cars to make up for it but I reckon I'd miss riding a bike!

Most sane people would take the money and so would I.

I would be really annoyed but probably spend some of it on some offroad vehicles instead but would be annoyed.

It has actually annoyed me thinking about not being able to ride bikes ever again.

A lot of people would do far worse than 'not ride a bike' for that amount of cash!!! Id miss it no doubt but the thrills I could get with £10million would far outweigh that. Stupidly powered rwd cars for the win, (and speedboats/jetskis, lots of skiing, sun, alcohol, drugs etc etc) motorbikes? ? there for people who cant afford a car aint they Razz

I'd take the 10 million, spend a couple of million having all who knew about the deal *ahem* 'neutralised', then shuffle down to the bike shop. Thumbs Up Smile

I thought what a silly question, of course I'll take the money.

Then I realised that I couldnt think of anything I'd buy with the ten mill, that I knew I would enjoy as much.

The moment of doubt passed though, as I'm sure there are lots of things I havent tried yet, that you can buy with some of the ten mill.

C'mon...no brainer...The Bike.

I already have more than £10,000,000.

The question would be more interesting if you asked us how much would you take not to ride/own a bike ever ever n ever again Rolling Eyes

Take the £10M then spend £1M on an assassin to kill the guy who made the deal.

I like bikes but anything over £100,000 I would probably take to never ride again.
