Well, after passing my test last week I've been scouring here, other forums, bike trader & ebay for a new bike.
Finally I found this & got it for (what I think is) the bargain price of £1650 :grin3

I've just ridden her home from Ongar to Boreham & when I opened her up a bit on the old A12 I got to the end & realised I hadn't breathed out :eek:
I'm currently grinning like a prize idiot :grin2
Just want to say a huge thanks to all of you who offered help & advice etc with regards to my test & my search for a bike.
I'll hopefully see you all in person soon!

Oooo nice find that! love the colours ;) glad to hear your pleased with it! look forward to meeting you n her!
I have to agree with Shorty Love The Colour's :love3
Like you say it seems like a bargain, but then again I'd have no idea what it's worth.
Although none of that matters as just as long as your happy.;)

It was origanaly the wife's car (well bought for her) when she decided she wanted a 206 cc it turned into my project car and had a huge turbo bolted to it. It's the only car I know of that could be redlined in 5th gear ;)

Doh! Didn't read this until 3.25pm so missed it.
Will hopefully get along to next one dependant on finding somewhere to tether the kids safley until I get back (joking, honest, I'll find a babysitter)

Thanks sweetie!
I shall trim my beard & moustache especially, lol!!
Long time no see. Was gonna come & see your bike with a view to buying it but when I came on her as soon as my insurance cheque cleared you'd sold it!
Am glad in hindsight though coz now I have the yellow peril! :grin2
Hope work isn't too pants. I may ask you a favour actually, I still have a video of Barbie's & a CD of Andy's (? Is it. Quite tall & slim, dark hair, works in the warehouse) so I may ask you to drop them off to them if I get around to getting them to you.
That ok?
