Rob,

I've optimistically put it on Autotrader for £5250! You can have a look at the pictures. I spent a lot of time and money on it, thinking it would always be Nicola's bike. However, she has been off sick from work for a while and the only way to get the BMW is to sell some bikes. She never rides it. I hardly ride it, even though it is fun round our country lanes.

If it was you, I would take £4500. Still an awful lot of money, I know.

Dean

I was told that the amount of bikes you can have is what you have now, plus one more ;)
Correct, apart from when you don't have the money!

Well, hallelujah!

I finally got round to trying to start Smallkat for the summer riding season. Drained carbs and drained fuel from tank (I forgot to buy the non-ethanol storage fuel), filled with fresh E5, put tap on prime... Spin the starter for 5 seconds - nothing. Have another go... a bit of a hiccup, have another go... she starts!

Just have to pop and get an MOT now.
