The Matirarch has decided that she wants to sell the Virago.
A part of me is dying.
It's a metallic black, low ridin', fat tyred, raspy snortin' chrome piped Ho of a bike - but she wants a Fiat 500.
It's being listed this evening - but I've told her that she has to drive the Fiat in skin tight leather or the deal is off.
Bloody women.
(keeping the chrome tank Kwak though - sod her.)

Hehe, bummer. Not one I've particularly hankered after, but I wouldn't say no. I've been looking at Triumph bikes lately - the Speedmaster and America. Not that I actually have the cash for one, but there's always a loan.

Think of the brownie points you've stockpiled for the kitting out the Burls1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I'm guessing you don't mean consecrating a place to bury the bike.

My missus is the proud owner of a Honda RVF400R, it's probably the nicest, cleanest example I've seen if she ever gets the urge to sell it I'll be very sad

Well, at least it is only 1 bike.
As noted previously - the Ducati 996SPS turned into a kitchen.....And my GSXR600R became a 4 x 4.
I think I lost my balls somewhere through my early thirties....0 -
I feel for your pending loss
To bring some balance back to the world, Mrs. Fireblade is keen for me to acquire an additional motorbike which can carry a passenger *and* luggage. Note - additional, not replacement !Misguided Idealist0 -

First the Virago. What next, the facial hair ? :shock:I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0
