Went for my 1st blast on the Nails new and as yet one-named garage mate.

Astonishing, simply astonishing. :dl_hyperhysteria:

Did you get the KTM?

Yes Paul.

It's mental. :lala:

Pictures and initial impressions to follow.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Collected my 59 plate, Harley Davidson  XL 1200 C today and should be collecting the SV on Monday. Fingers crossed for a dry day eh!

That hasn't seen many damp ditches by the look of it. :)

Fat Bob was fast but very uncomfortable. It has gone to live in Sweden. The proceeds just about paid for the SV and the sportster.

Formalised the sale of the TTR  :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:



Some bloke called Tony :shrug: is sending a man with a van to collect it in the morning.

Looks like I'll only be a road marshal for the Taffy Dakar next year. :auto-dirtbike:

Honestly can't wait to take collection.... those who know me will explain how long I've moaned on about getting a Trail bike and I had just binned the idea off when this came up for sale.

Mr Diver I promise I will take good care of it to the best of Tigerman's ability and you never know... it may come to the Taffy Dakar still.

Sold the SV to a chap from Dundee just now: I made a fair profit on the whole job and he's away happy with what he paid. Equally important right now though, that's the space cleared for the SP3: I was looking at having to blag space in a neighbour's garage until it sold.

Fitted a set of Touratech panniers to my 1000 L6. Not a pretty sight but very functional.
