Ha...Thats true but life is full horrible choices sometimes Merv. Then sometimes just plain stuff happens... and then some more stuff happens.....

[Paul in NZ]

Pow - the Guzzi is sold to someone who knows the bike. Suzuki should be gone today (I hope)

If anyone wants a cool old Triumph get in now cos it will sell

Good thing you never brought this up on Friday, or I would've talked you out of it.

Same! I first met you, Paul at a bbq at Sels1's house in ? 2006. You had just finished restoring it, it was then, and still is, a beautiful bike!
If I am sad about it, I can't imagine how you must feel.:no:

This might be the best bit of wisdom I have ever seen. Sig worthy.

Nice Guzzi too mate

Hi 'tart, you'd be talking about this barbecue in January 2007 http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/41773-New-Year-BBQ-27th-Jan/page6 (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/41773-New-Year-BBQ-27th-Jan/page6?highlight=sels1)

There are a lot of things and behaviours I can't believe as well but that does not make them not real. I'll need to get good drunk before I list it though which at least is something to look forwards too....

Yup - I will be getting good an drunk before I list it eh....

The Suzuki is gone - guys even madder than me - drove straight down from Whanganui to get it and he is over the moon. Its gone to a loving home which is great. I dont blame him - its a cool wee bike and I will miss it.

[blackdog]

Dude this is heart wrenching to read.

Are there no other options before you let the Triumph go too?

Timeshare Triumph?

I can afford p'raps 10%.

And an annual stipend for care and feeding...

[nudemetalz]

Oh man,...sorry to hear that...I've always known you to have the Guzzi and Trumpy. :(

Mine is here at home if you ever feel like riding an eyetie rattler....
I'm registering her back onto the road next week from 6 months off being on-hold.
I too hummed and harrr'd whether I should keep my Guzzi. Missus told me to keep it.
See if my health allows me to....

Yes I remember that bbq, no pics of me but a couple of my dirty old RF.

Remember seeing the Triumph & thinking it was a good job. Hope whatever works out for you Paul.

Oh everything is great really...

I have a mountain of stuff to shift anose two bikes have gone to two guys who delighted to have them and both emailed me how happy they are. That means a lot...

I've done a bunch of stuff and the triumphs still here and still racking up the miles Dave. At the moment its staying.

Look - end of the day I'm glad this has happened. When the dust has settled Vicki and I will actually have some free cash to indulge in a project. I'm thrilled....
