Just in case your wondering why I have kept the original, it's because the owner of the shop said 37000 miles on a bike is like 90000 miles on a car (in terms of a trade-in). So he wouldn't do a trade in.
So, I thought fook it, I'll keep the curvy if I'm going to get naff all for it and ride it through the harsher weather. And split the mileage between the two. That way, the pointy will keep her looks a bit longer and the curvy will assist when the weather is atrocious and there is animal fat and salt all over the road.
Don't want people to think I'm minted!? I'm not, but sometimes you just have to get your wallet out (or credit card?!!) ... I think it makes sense financially. Okay, I'm not a Yorkshireman, but us Lancastrians are thrifty too, tha' knows!
