And so on my birthday of all days the thoroughly nice chap that is Rich from Moto-R drove down from wales and picked the pike up paying the full asking price . after over a decade and a half of ownership she's gone to a good home, and trust me I've vetted several and told them that it wasn't for them. And now I'm staring at a big hole in the garage which has not been empty since forever. I really just pray that it won't be the same amount of time till that space is filled again - but I'm not confident that that will ever happen at the moment.
Glad you got a good price and that it went to a decent home. Good luck for future - hope things pick up soon
