Possibly a ride to the 'Darkside'
As you do, perusing the old Ebay site I came across something that caught my eye, so much so that a email was sent and a telephone conversation.
Am I going mad or what?
PX my old gal for THIS....
The guy is going to give me roughly what I'm looking for as PX without seeing her. Then a visit to the bank for cash, as it speaks louder than any plastic.
I'm feeling a bit hesitant for a few reasons, foremost, possibly the start of divorce proceedings and a small hole in the bank account.
What do you reckon guys?

Looks like a nice 'Bird' Mo , thats the way I'd go if I was gonna change my ride .
Very little activity on the Blackbird section though , so you'll have to stick around here to let us know how you get on with your new mistress , stay in touch

Into change
Mo, life is about change. Change the bike, the wife and the thong while you are at it!!
If you and the misses can not see eye to eye, then change is good for both of you. Souls that clash need to move on in life. If the wounds are deep and venom has spewed from your mouths, the healing will never be complete. If you split up, be good to each other for your soul will need that when you depart this form in this life. BUT, if things can be fixed then the cord between you should be strengthened. Remember, money is just toilet paper that is colored!!!
So, if money is the problem, wipe and flush it where it belongs!
On the bike side, I like those 1100XXs and they seem to keep their value more than Kaws and Yamahas. Keep us informed...

Thanks guys for the vote of confidence, especially Nevada. Don't worry man, the divorce thing may be a bit far fetched, but I could see me dusting off the old thong(I got a studded one, with the studs on the inside) and being ever so nice to the missus for a few years if the deal goes thru.
... And you're right Hawkwind, there's no much happening on the blackbird section so I might have to apply for a concessionary pass to stay here
BTW, It's our 24th wedding anniversary next week, and I've done a lot worse and we're still together(must be doing something right)

24 years you must be doin something right
As for the Blackbird section being quiet , they're either incredibly reliable bikes or ridden by really tight lipped riders

Studded thong
Ouch Mo, you must be one tuff Homre! I don't even think Classic would wear the studs on the inside and he is an Aussie (tuff dudes them Aussies)!!!
24 years, that is worth doing what it takes to make it work! This Sept is my 29th. We are getting "more mature" (not old!) as they say..
If you get a 1100xx, I'm sure Stretcher can Knight you into 1000F status. But, don't let him send you on a quest looking for Shrubry!! And if he does, watch out for the Knights of Niche!

Mo, congrats on 24yrs! How angry could she possibly be over a bike? No worries, right? Maybe you could buy the bike, and then strap a "little box" to that rack on the back for the wife... you know, soften the blow, maybe?
As far as the actual bike... the first time I saw a Bird in the flesh, I fell in love with it. I really like those bikes, and I have a feeling I will own one when the right one comes along. What's funny is, I'm not exactly sure why. It was the same kind of deal with the 1000F. I think I'm just drawn to the fact that it seems like the perfect cross between sport speed/handling and comfortable I guess. Can't go wrong!

Well you know how some things weren't meant to be (sobs).....
I couldn't push the deal thru, without going into too much detail apart from money going else where instead of towards the bird (more sobs)...
Anyhow, I think I've found my future mistress to be and she will be in black.

It will come to you in good time, mo...
No worries. Sometimes you just have to let the birdie fly away from you. You'll know when the time is right.
I was eyeballing a new 1000RR today, too. One day.... she'll be mine. Just like the birdy.
