| SOLD! Sorry boys won't be with you for the ride this weekend I just sold Betty.
Sold her for 11,300, that's what I owe on the loan. I needed a quick sale so I didn't get the price I want but hey that's life I couldn't hang around waiting for the right buyer.
Bloke is only going to use it for a weekender so it will be polished more than ridden, so it won't know any different.
Gonna sound dumb but I'm glad a mature rider is buying, don't think I could hand the keys over to a squid boy.
So yeah 11,3 with 6 months factory warranty and rego, it's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the ****ing century. In fact it's so good, **** it, I just might keep it myself. (if only  ) |

Unfortunately I will be bikeless for the next 18 months due to uni commitments but when I'm done I'll have more money than I know what to do with...Hmmm the 06 rsvr factory I'm sure will look good |

| Re: SOLD! Good work Will.  Although you should have handed him the keys on Monday that way you could have given "betty" a good thrashing on the weekend.
Anyways, you won't last 18 months without a bike I guarantee it. I could only last 2 months before I became suicidal  ...but now I'm okay...  |

Anyway as i commute i think that the Honda was a wiser choice
Lets hope Aprilia survive  |

Well its been an interseting time, my avatar has 4 sale will trade 4 women. Just sold the bike and I've got a new woman as well, who was actually born a woman too! Hey I watch Jerry I know whats out there.
So things looking bright finally after having the flu like virus that had me on my arse for 5 weeks! |
