Guess who's got her first 250?

**Joliet** · 22nd April 2009, 22:31

Me! Of course!

I bought Fireliv's Bandit (aka Jessie!)

So just need the Theory under my belt and then I can get her on the road

(after lots of practice, of course

)

Sold my little RD50 today

it was sad seeing her go but glad it's going to a guy whos going to take it on 50cc runs and hopefully restore it to mint(ish) condition.

So you may see me or Romeo out and about on it. I think he is jealous of my purchase

Yeah, unfortunately it's the beginning of the cold season

hopefully we get a few crisp days so I can get a few rides in

Glad to hear that the RD is going to a good home, enjoy the 250.

Congrats on the bike!

Keep us posted on how you get on with the theory test and the new bike!

**JMemonic** · 23rd April 2009, 20:17

Congrats Joliet, that's a good wee bandit you have there.

We went looking at bikes again today, looks like I have to make room in the garage for a 250 cruiser soon.
