Unhappy I am now bikeless....I might cry!!

Hello All

As some who know me are aware due to circumstances I am now no longer riding. As of last night, I also had the sad sad job of watching my nice shiny SV being ridden away from my house for the last time.

Just wanted to say that I hope to still keep in touch with everyone and will still be around on the site. May even make a couple of rideouts to say hi if they are localish. Probably going to remain bikeless for 18 months at which point me and Lily will be back with avengeance (when Lily's restrictor ends)

I see the new owner has already registered (as I mentioned the site), so hopefuly Garth (from Manchester) will enjoy riding the "Tart" as Lily named her.

All the best

Drew

Very confusing. Isn't Girth the Tart?

18 months will fly by mate, then you can get yourselves proper bikes




















A pair of Curvies. In Candy Grand Blue of course.

Girth is a tart....but he is not "the Tart"!!!!

I know it will fly by........don't know if I should say this, but quite looking forward to getting a new car!!!! lol

As for curvies......doubt it......I am thinking of maybe a big capcity naked twin (ooooh errrrr) or possibly a sensible sports tourer. Lily is thinking of an ER6F. But will wait and see.....sure things will change by then.

It gets better my friend. I'm waiting until the winter for a possible purchase as things may be a little cheaper for me. Who knows. I do miss it, there's no denying.

OHHH noes!
I can feel your devastation
I'd have kept the bike and not gone on honeymoon.(kidding )

I know Spidey is looking after Lilys bike cause I has seen it. I do hope the new owner looks after the tart!

Sorry to hear of peoples' bikeless states

Shameless plug:
My '03-plate Honda Hornet 600 will be going on the market in the very near future. <14kmiles and in good condition. Currently SORNed but will be getting it taxed/MOTed prior to sale. Will need oil/filter change but that should be it.

Will go for a reasonable price should anyone on here want her

PM me if interested.
