Default A Fond Farewell

All,

The time came where the finances could not longer afford to keep all my bikes registered, so.......

The CBR was sold. A tear welled up as the bike was loaded up for the new owner.

Was a hell of a ride over the last few years, I have really enjoyed this site, all the help i received when i had a few drama's. All help was freely given by a bunch of blokes (and Ladies), all on this site for the same reason.

I miss her already but i had to bite the bullet.

Thank you all, and i wish each and every one of you all the very best and safe riding

Best Regards

Aussie Johnno

Sorry to hear that you had to sell you bike Johnno! I did see it advertised.

You know you're always welcome on the site - because when finances are better, you'll start hunting for that next CBR1000F

Cheers, SB

Johnno,

Its a sad day when you have to sell your bike. Unfortunately given the current climate I dont think you are alone.
Just keep looking ahead to the day when you will be back on a CBR.

Good luck

Rick

That's really sad - I remember all the guys you have helped with parts along the way.
I hope thing improve soon and you can find another one - you know how special they are.
We will miss you, but just because you don't own a Hurricane, doesn't mean you can't drop by for a chat anytime.
You'll always be welcome Johnno Mate.

Sad day, indeed. I've always enjoyed having you here, Johnno, and hope you come back around.
And you're certainly not the only person in this situation, either. I plan to sell my klr in the spring for the same reason.

Cheers to slutbike. She will be missed.

Sorry to hear the news but that's the problem with multiple bikes. I have to admit that my 1kF sits more than I would like it to because of the other bikes. You can't ride them all at one time so something has to go if its just sitting.

You gotta do what you gotta do and roll with the punches.

Sorry to hear the news mate.

You might have sold the bike, but you're still a 'Hurricane' rider. Don't be a stranger.
