How did that happen?
« on: July 05, 2016, 19:50:16 »
Chance conversation at work.

"My dad's selling his bike"

24 hours later I'm handing over a deposit to secure a 1995 Kawasaki zxr750. Proper shell suit colours.

Needs a bit of cosmetic tlc but just serviced and with 12 months mot.

Always wanted one of these.

That looks superb.

Enjoy. :thumb:
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.

It's obviously not a replacement for the strom it's going to be a weekend plaything.

It's only done 17k miles.

£800 ????????????????
