New bike to me but not the forum :)

Post by sgoaty »

Just picked up my new bike today. Its got 32.5k miles on it and is in pretty good condition few stone chips etc but over all not bad at all.

Bought it from a good mate of mine who was on here and a couple owners back it belonged to another forum member.

Aye, i've heard from him :lol: :lol:

You're correct , i moved to a bandit 1200 , had it a couple of years, then we needed to run two cars so the bike was sold :( , i bought the next best thing to a bike...an MX5 convertible, got the piss ripped out of me from the lads at work for buying a 'hairdressers car' , sold it and bought a Mazda 6 !

The Mazda mx5 was a great wee car though.

Bikeless at the moment, can't afford one, runnin 2 cars, daughter at University in Edinburgh etc , but it doesn't stop me spendin hours on Gumtree and Ebay and hoping my lottery numbers come up :lol:

Must say, my auld Firestorm still looks pretty good :thumbup:

I wonder if that's still the standard cans with the baffles removed ?

Memories...memories... :(
Here's my favourite photo when i owned the bike-

I know that road well due to going down that way Pike fishing every other weekend over winter, that's your neck o the woods is it not, the wee road from the Loch Ken Hotel over to Crocketford?
Infact i was down at Castle Douglas a few weeks back, the Chinese at the Ayr road junction does a good deal.......£4.70 iirc for 3 courses :thumbup:

You know something i never even noticed it was cut, nice neat job.

I think Darren has bars for me i might give them a try sometime.

Bikerpiker. its got standard cans on at the moment but Darren has the ones with the baffles out to give me next time hes up this way with his car.

Hmmm....i might be wrong but i'm almost certain the guy i sold it to wasn't called Darren, i think my buyer was called ' Stevie '.

It's no done too many miles since i sold it either, still looks good mate.
