I never should have sold it, as I said, and I was that attached to it I never even changed my avatar on here. Not wishing to turn a 'for sale' thread into a tear jerking lost loves saga, but let's just say, I sold it because I was going through a bad patch and needed to eat/pay rent more than I needed to keep a bike I never had time to ride under a cover in the workshop, just so I could look at it and sigh every day. (Bikes and blokes seem to fall into the same category for me....)
But there's a happy ending, because I've changed my life completely now and just seem to be riding a crest of good luck all round at the moment!! Which is why I couldn't believe I saw this ad, especially as I'm hardly ever on here any more....
