Re: Why buy a bike if you aint gonna use it?
Anyone want to swap a lack curvy with about 2000 miles for one with 30000+ of course you would have to pay me a bit for all the hours riding I put into mine, but that way you get rid of this weekend rider image in one swipe.
anyone .......??? PM me for offers. |

Tell you what, for a small fee I'll swap clocks with someone who's not got many miles before next MOT's due...

Re: Why buy a bike if you aint gonna use it?
Well the T'bird has only had 3,014 miles in the last 6 months, however in mitigation I've only been able to ride it for the last 3 weeks 4 days.
Cheers Mark.

  Mine still looks pretty good. Couple of small paint chips, exhaust header bolts look a bit rusty, but apart from that its doing well. All of that was pretty much spring / summer / autumn riding, its never been ridden through a winter.

 And yes, I have asked myself time and time again 'Why have a car'? (especially as I have a private van too, which again gets used infrequently, but when it is used it is invaluable) ... Coz I can afford it and it does have its uses ... also it is a little rear wheel drive open top sports car so for a cage it is quite fun So although I use my bike lots and think it is a pity people have bikes and never use them, I can see how they can get into that cycle (pardon the pun) where it there just isn't the occasion for weeks on end. What does irritate me is that it means the market is then flooded with low mileage bikes, meaning it drives the resale prices down on bikes that people have actually ridden
