I dont quite have the money for the new bike yet & i wanna get some mileage outta money already spent,p,us my missus is out of work so i need to have those reserves just incase but soon as she's back in work it'll be ka ching!!!!££££££![]()
I did 800 miles last week while the sun was out & i plan on many more.....im gonna ride it from Wales to scotland in June to visit the parents & then head to the highlands with my old man so i'm gonna rack up another few thousand before the season ends.....if it is just another year then my chain & sprockets will be fine so all i need to do is get new tyres & prey that she passes the next mot without too much fuss...so £300 spend & then ride it.
If i just dithered about then i'd be happy but i enjoy hooning & so i reckon i deserve some kind of tricker set up & theres so much out there.
It is a shame that more folk didnt mod up their suspension on the 600 when they were new.......coz then there'd be loads on ebay for cheap or lots of 600's to buy fully modded but i suppose the standard setup is ample for most plus no offence but it isnt like the mature owned thous that have had that spending & upgrading input over their years of cherishing.
I dont even want outright speed......just something foccin quick up to a tonne that handles a dream on back roads. 8)
Every now and again I get the same itch and once put my mighty fazer thou up for sale.......when a prospective buyer came round I pointed out all the bad bits...not there was any and put the guy off with a huge sigh of relief.
Now when I get the itch I look at the bike with all the modifications in all its glory...foccin mint I tell ya.......take it for a spin and remember why I'd spent almost 2k getting running perfectly....look at my bank balance.....and mysteriously the itch is gone
