What have I done ??

[themoudie]

Aye Steve,

Thank you for the PM, I have passed on the info.

As for the GB, it has to be ridden and it's all in the eye of the beholder!   

My regards, Bill

Abuse, abuse, abuse, abuse......

.....actually when you convert it, it's not a bad price for a near as damnit new GB.....even if it is just an XBR  in an Armani suit & boots !

But PLEASE use it ...I'll let you off only using it on nice days... but just ride it and enjoy it.

Here, here.....I have To go with steveC#222 on this one. Corking looking mosheen but yeah got to be ridden. I once remember reading an article with the late great enzo Ferrari, in which he said his cars shud be driven like they were designed...with passion. He went on to say, they were not designed to be stared at in some museum but driven...with passion.
Enjoy it Steve it certainly looks a corker. Oh and keep the subliminal messaging going with her indoors, clearly already starting to pay off if all she does is "dry her teeth" from time to time ..cheers, Michael

Fantastic looking bike, enjoy...

This is one GB which will be used, only on dry days though  It will not be a house ornament. I`ve been trying to make some space this morning in the garage as I did say to the wife about storing it in the house between use, she was awake when I mentioned it, and the reply was "........off!"    So, the Fazer sold this morning (collecting it on Tuesday) and I may even sell my two SP`s to my mate because I know he`ll get them on the road and give me first refusal if he was selling them again. Cheers, Steve.

Steve, tell your Mrs that I've eight bikes in my living room, and none of them are anywhere close to being as gorgeous or valuable as your GB 
Alternatively, send it over here, and I'll find space in the house for it somewhere

Ha ha ha.....I like your style Tim. Excellent stuff

I also reckon that when you convert from euros Steve, you've got a great bike for the money. I mean it is a practically new GB. Great that its now owned by one of us lot 

[manxie]

Thanks for that  I think it`s realistic money for one of those, just hope it`s as good as it looks  That`s the trouble buying blind. Apart from the one in Wales for sale at the moment, the last one I saw funnily enough was over in Ireland about a year ago for 5k...which was a Manx bike from new! Would have been nice to bring it back but I dragged my heels on it and it sold.

Problem I have is I`ve bought blind, a quick chat with the salesman and a look at the photo`s and said I`d have it  I`m just hoping it`ll turn up and be as good as it looks  Cheers.

[mthee]

Oh, right. I find myself struggling to put the seething on hold though! Good luck!
