Default sold up

i missed the 1000f, it's only 2mile away, i see it regularly,
i was so sorry i sold the bird, but need a shoulder op, so it was a "had to go"
sold the bmw, ta' pot with that again. its just not a keeper.

don't get me wrong, a nice cruiser, handles like a zx10 in the corners, just the feeling i had to learn to ride it every time i go out, it was a brute(L) machine.
the servo brakes were, nothing , nothing, ONNN! and a wee internal scream, damn servo brakes. and i bought it on a whim, so i didn't scrutinize it and fell to a lot of wee flaws. and the pull to the right when you rev a flat twin, weird.

the search begins. it has to be honda.

Good luck with the search Kenny.

Will you just be looking in the Emerald Isle, or further afield?

Nice light supermoto, you would be surprised how much fun, or an XT which is not as extreme and can tour as well. Sat up comfort no should work unless you want to.

ah, ****e! 4 hours later i'm on my way to craigavon in the van, ratchet straps and cash in hand.
and a purchase made.
it'll get some polishing and detailing tomorrow if it stays dry, and the SLR will get a few clicks , and i'll update you all on sunday.

wife said she was calling in a psychologist for me. i don't care. all will be revealed soon.

ya don't have to be nut's, but it helps.

last time i bought the bmw was on the 14th july, i was raging i couldn't be searching on the "twelfth" holidays.


pull up the chair and popcorn.
