She's Gone...

[crescent750]

Well,
She's finally gone after 5 happy years...

Went for 3000 to a bloke up in Scotland. He's sendin a courier down today to pick it up...

So, time to move on to somethin a bit different. Lookin for a supermoto now, quite like the Yamaha XT660X, 2005ish or along those lines.

Suggestions welcome, and no slaggin me off for selling the gsxr...lol..

[rembrandt]

Thats a shame M8 but still I am sure you will enjoy your new one just as much when you get it

[RaceMeNSee]

I like the cali too, but prefer the stone or jackal to the full blown version

The stone is at most 7 years old.. it was only introduced by moto guzzi in 2001.. they are just too 'basic' for my liking to be honest.

Its like buying a unfaired goldwing, what would be the point?? might as well pay the extra and get the whole outfit.;)

Not criticising your choice obviously, just personally i would either go for the 'Vintage' model or the 'Touring' model.

Probably Vintage with full touring kit ;)

Don't suppose when its collected you could find out the company and how much(ish) it costs to shift one up to Scotland for me could you? :)

ill check with mine thursday as ill be bugging the couriers with exactly where the bike is going etac anyway (just for safety).. so ill ask as a matter of interest for you latey.:grin2

[Lateshift]

ta :)

[S6BoiGaz]

Lateshift,
the best mtorobike courier is called A&G. I use them myself when i sell damaged repairable bikes. Sent a Yamaha Thunderace to Aberdean and it cost £260, but of course the price changes depending on the distance. Will dig out their number if you want it.

[Lateshift]

Definitely wouldnt be going as far as Aberdeen, thats for sure, as far as Edinburgh:)

[crescent750]

Well the guys courier fell through on friday, so he's havin it collected early next week..
The thing is, i now have his money, i've written out his receipt and filled in the log book.. I had the oppertunity to buy 2 XT660's today but i had to hold back just incase the bloke who bought my bike changes his mind and wants his money back for some unknown reason..

WHERE DO I STAND??. should i consider my bike sold to him and just get on and buy my next bike. I mean, technically, i'm now storing his bike in my garage...:confused:

[Murray]

I would think its his now, start charging him storage fees :grin2
