No not the bike test manoover.
Me ![]() Today was the day when I was to hand over my 675. I was taking all the bits off it yesterday. I was taking the fairings off so as to remove the T3 sliders (they mount on the engine bolts, they give you longer bolts with the kit to accommodate the thickness of the mounting) when I realised that even though I could do with the cash I simply couldn't part with it. I like it too much and I would miss it like crazy. It's a release valve from all the stress and pressure at work, and it's my P&J. I don't usually become emotionally attached to things, but stripping the bike - oh I was ready to cry. I know that at the end of the day it's just a motorbike, a big lump of metal, rubber and plastic, and it will depreciate even more as time goes by and the mileage goes up. But like Obama's America, this bike is more than the sum of its parts. I was going to Southport to look at a SV to replace it, and YC had very very kindly agreed to come over to have a look at it with me. Thanks Chris!!! The seller is now texting me and desperate to sell - he has told me he'll take 1250 for it but as I'm not selling I'm not in the market. I feel bad about winding him up. It's a W reg bike, 15K on it, good nick, if anyone would like the seller's number then I'll happily PM it to you. So I've cancelled the sale, reinstated the insurance, and this beautiful shiny beast is still in my garage. Complete with TLW's end cap ![]() Last edited by Ed; 11-07-09 at 03:30 PM. |
