Return to the Fold?
« on: December 20, 2017, 14:48:36 »
Hi Folks. Merry Christmas to one and all.
I sold my Glee last year and bought a CBF1000 only because I fancied a '4' again. Was then diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis so couldn't ride the CBF! Sold it and have been without a Solo now for 9 months. The good news is now I've been sorted medication wise I'll be looking in the Spring for another Glee due to light weight and riding position. Hindsight says I should have just kept mine but wasn't to know.
So, if anyone is thinking of selling a decent Glee in a few months I'll be interested. may also consider  a Vee (V2). Would prefer it with centrestand, hand guards - and luggage if possible.
It won't be for a couple of months I suspect but I should be fit by then so if all you good Folks could keep your eyes peeled I'd be grateful

Cheers all
Andy

Firestorm, I used to have an 1100g. Beautiful power delivery, super smooth engine, not many about now, so I remembered. As for the Reliant chair, that was an unforgettable chop job. Brilliant! Glad you found it again, and glad you got it up and running, there aren't enough outfits around any more.

Thanks for the info Mark but I'm really looking for a Glee again rather than the older one.
