No worries dude...

Dropped the ADV off in London to her new owner last night

Oddly enough, there's a bike in London I'm very interested in...

I'm very glad you've sold that Wolfie.

I kept looking at it, and think I'd have really enjoyed it but the money at the moment is just a little tight!

I'm off to see a bike on Friday, it looks mintier than a extra strong mint wrapped in wrigleys gum in a glass of creme de menthe...

I've regretted every bike I have sold pretty much.

Both me and my Kerry had a tear in our eyes when I sold my 2009 Fireblade, I think she did even shed a tear. It was a Repsol and I spent quite a bit on it getting it how I wanted it. I even nearly pulled out of the sale twice, but eventually let it go.

Kerry missed it so much she forced me to buy a 2013 Custom Fireblade, I was just going to buy the same, but she said it had to be better if I was getting another one haha... Perfect, so made her my fianc้!

Still need a go on that

It was my wife who persuaded me to buy the more expensive explorer over the 800xc tiger, I'm already married though

Actually that Honda looks pretty tidy, the wheels are a step too orange for me but different strokes for different folks...

Tell me about the pain of selling a much loved bike, I shed a manly tear on the way back from London on Monday with an empty trailer...

Ooops, did I just give y'all a clue...?!?
