Here I was minding my own business a few weeks ago visiting my local dealer to look at a pair of boots when I was met by that rogue Pete McDonald...oh sure offer me a coffee and be all nice and smiling like you always are..I know your game mate.
Just because I saw that 2009 Buell 1125r over there looking very sexy in white with the blue wheels and screen doesn't mean I want to test ride it..oh well maybe just a little ride but I am not selling my bike you understand.
MMMMMMMMMMMM nice bike to ride whats that? You can give me a figure on what my bike is worth? What harm is there in that? I mean I would need to have my lady come for a ride as well to check out the pillion comfort....no problems? Ok lets do another ride on Saturday but I am not selling my bike you understand.........
Damn his persuasive ways, his smile, his ability to deal with any questions, why oh why did I go in there? My old bike ended up being rehomed to a top bloke in Rotorua and that sleek sexy white beast was mine!!!!!! Finally got a decent day for a ride on Sunday and we went for a nice ride up to Te Horo for brunch (Oh I forgot to mention I got a pillion touring seat off Ebay - after checking with Wgtn MC as to availability first..they cant get them anymore).
Thanks Pete, this bike is so much fun to ride and is everything you said it was. A pleasure dealing with you as always but no more buying bikers from you ok? This is the last time I fall for it!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

Oh jeez :facepalm: I hate those bastards in the shops who are like that. Wichard from Botany MC here in D'orkland is like that. He always tosses me keys with the words of "go take it for a test ride, no obligation!" :facepalm:
The more you talk with them, the more they let you talk! :blink: All of a sudden you end up in your scenario!
Not that anything like that happened to me ... :innocent::shutup:
So congrats on your new steed, and as others have said ... piccies! :yes:

Yeah, that's the bit that got me too. Maybe WMCC has installed a coffee machine so it's no longer err... 'hand made' by Pete (reminds me of a scene in Black Adder...).

Nope. It's still made with all the love and care in the world by me.

I have had a Pete coffee before, I was soaked to the skin and it was hot and wet. I only choked on the last mouthful :dodge:
It was the time I fell in love with the Buell meant for me.
Nope. It's still made with all the love and care in the world by me.
Yummy.:love:
You have found a way of siphoning off those last bones then :sunny:

Good for you mate...I knew when you emailed me asking ALL about the 1125 (and generally pumping me for info) that you would buy it as soon as you demo-ed it.
in fact if I remember rightly my words to you were
BUY IT!!!!!
So I gotta say that its hot in white and I reckon you are gonna be serious competition for best 1125 this year!
My guy was gutted when I told him cos he has some customisation plans for 'Big Red' before rally time and I also intend to give ya a run for ya money with something new on 'The Black'.
But enuf about me... I am stoked for ya! With your new comfy sissy pad for the missus she will be lovin' it on the ride down south.
WOOHOO! looking forward to seeing it in the flesh...oh yeah and catching up with you both of course he he he...BTW I still laugh every time I think about the quasimodo shaggy dog story, the sound effects rocked LOL.
