Sorry but I've had enough...
« on: May 18, 2021, 11:56:35 »
I am posting this with a heavy heart.  I love motorcycling and everything that comes with it, but I am officially done in 2021.

This is taking up too much of my time - I'm struggling to keep up with the everyday chores of cooking, cleaning, hoovering and maintaining my home. Never mind the gardening and the constant cutting of grass etc so something has to give.  I have decided to get rid of all my gear.

Below is a list of what's available.  Serious enquiries only, and please don't insult me with low offers.  Thanks for reading and understanding.

 - Vacuum cleaner
-  Dustpan & broom
-  Mop & bucket
-  Lawn mower
-  Leaf blower
-  Strimmer
-  Iron
It's pronounced 'twenty-one-twelve'

I can understand the turmoil but I think you've made the right decision!

I should have expected this. But I didn't. Well played.
I like M&Ms - motorcycles and metal 🤘

You know you'll regret it, don't do it, I'll remove your temptation
and take the Tiger off your hands

Really spoil her. Get her a new bag and belt, it'll pick up a treat.

An 'animal skin' jacket is always well received ...
