Re: Bananaman
I'm friends with him on FB. He is OK and in good spirits. He's had some medical issues this year but seems to have come through them.

Re: Bananaman
Thanks Mike. I knew he'd had a few medical problems so it can be a bit worrying when previously active members disappear for long periods. Could you pass on my regards to him please?

Re: Bananaman
Say hi from all of us. I miss the lovely pictures from his rides out. Hope he's OK.

Re: Bananaman
Greetings lads!
Wow, time flies! Guess it's been a while. Hope you all are doing fine. I'm doing well, been mostly tending to my grandson who just had a kidney transplant and is doing very well now. Healthwise I'm finally doing well again but the years of inactivity and a being hit by a car in 2019 has caused me to retire SV. (bike problems) Took months to get parts in 2020 and now seems to develop new problems every 200 miles and now needs a speedo head. Given that it also needs 2 tires and a chain and sprocket set it's time to quit throwing money at it. I am owed money in a settlement so hopefully can get another bike whenever that comes through. (been waiting a while)

Re: Bananaman
Hallo Bill, great to see you back on the .org again. Been wondering how you were.
Shame about the SV, she served you well but I guess the time comes to move on. Glad to hear your grandson’s doing well, there were some worrying times a while back by the sound of it. And likewise yourself, it seemed you were in hospital quite a bit. Really pleased to see things are picking up now. What do you think about another bike, any idea what you might get? |

The smart money would be a new vstrom, but it I could get a deal on a low mileage sport tourer like a FJ1300 or a Connie...I might. Despite the weight, that hard luggage and shaft drive really suit the type riding I do now. But the lighter weight vstrom would last the rest of my riding career easily. I'll see what's for sale when I have the money in hand. Any suggestions??
