sold my bike
« on: August 17, 2007, 23:40:31 »
well i sold my zzr 600 last week and have been looking for a replacement
ever since i have been checking out eblag and auto trader
trying to find me a cheep commuter as i do about 150 miles a week
but it seems cheap = rubbish
and every idiot and his dog seems to be bidding on something
so i am sat here with withdrawal symtoms
if its this bad after selling my bike how bad does it get when someone sells a land rover ( or other make of 4x4)

I had a gap of 6 years without a bike, believe me it gets bad, bikes are in your blood, When summer time comes around and your sitting in a traffic jam windows down and you hear those race cans burbling from half a mile away.

It hurts your soul.

big trials/tourer
due to wanting a bit more leg room

I have no problems with mine cornering whilst scrapping the pegs. once you set up the suspension they stick like any other race bike.

I'd never part with mine and it's 9 yrs old now.
