My new Toy !
« on: June 01, 2008, 11:57:29 PM »
Always fancied one of these, so with my 40th coming up, I thought "what the hell" and fulfilled a 20 year old dream!!!!!:





Completely original and no damage. Will be stripping it down and replacing any bits as required. Been stood for 6 years, but runs okay. :hello2: :headbang:

I know it won't come close to my ten for speed, but should be rapid through the twisty stuff !!!!! :icon_thumright:

Your pics are nice too see, and have a little educational content for us, However i feel there is some more important wisdom you need to impart to us

How the hell did you get your wife/significant other to let you dismantle the bike on the good laminate in front of the white lace curtains and blinds ??

Also you should watch your wallet, she will be after a new teak floor and you will spend the next month trying to "help" her pick patterns for the new curtains

Ah well, you see......................................there is a simple explanation for this:

1) She actually bought it me for my 40th !
2) I've already got two bikes in the garage, so it had to go indoors !
3) It keeps me quiet and out of mischief !
4) After 18 years of marriage, she knows she'll get it back in spades anyway (e.g. Just bought her a blueflame exhaust and de-cat for her car !)
