Sold bike for girl

**Marmoot** · 7th February 2005, 16:37

There.....I've done it.
I've just sold my Fireblade today.
And I'm getting married next Friday.
Not that there is any connection between the two.....

Congrats on the Wedding man!!!

Sorry to hear that you sold you'r bike (I thought you really loved that bike...) but if that's what you really wanted then cool as.

**F5 Dave** · 7th February 2005, 16:46

So you sold your bike & only got a girl for it?

Let see, 99 blade, worth, heck I dunno say 9k.

Sure they won’t throw a couple of sisters into the deal?

I did love the bike.....to bits (literally....spread the bike to bits a few times already....LOOL)

I just want to say "Thank you Blade, it's been a great 5 years and I haven't even managed to use 100% of the potential or broke the engine either"

Now, for something completely new......hehehe........yes, time for something completely new.....

Marriage costs a lot.
Think of all that money...
The bikes you could buy...
The places to go...

:Sigh:

Why didn't someone warn me...

Anyway, congrats on the wedding

Hmm..everybody seems to be getting married next week

Good Luck dude

I'm sure your bride will be able to do things your blade never could....Like, make you breakfast in bed and darn your socks????

**F5 Dave** · 7th February 2005, 16:53

Yeah sorry should have added congrats, so congrats.

Mine’s a few months off & projected at ~ 20k so far. What the heck.

Oops I’ve supposed to have unsubscribed.

I'm going away for a week I promise.

Back when you were F-ing quick, you must have been pretty damn close to reaching it's limits though.

Double congrats then, on the new Bride and the new ride!!

Thank's Old M......I mean......FF. That is one offer I can't miss.
I got something new anyway. Looking at SH22 on Sat for a pre-wedding ride if weather is ok

If you're there we can swap a bit.

One question: How the heck do you guys clean a matt-black finish???? I know wax would make it whitish........How about Armourall?

COULDNT YOU HAVE BOTH? DID SHE LIKE THE BIKE? ARE YOU JUST SELLING IT IN PREPERATION FOR AN UPDATE ZX10, R1 ETC?

**Marmoot** · 7th February 2005, 17:43

Yes....she liked the bike so much, thank you for asking.
what she doesn't like is the capslock button on my keyboard.
Anyway, no it's not selling for preparation for ZX10....although I saw a juicy add for ZX10 somewhere in this forum. Could it be TS new bike?
