So I happened to be going trough wild west honda last wednesday. Walked in and saw a very familiar bike - Isaaks' (Macstar) Hooligan Hornet
Stared at her for about 10 minutes, sat on her, did circles around it even started her up. Boy did it sound good.
So I left The Hooligan alone and took off with memories about all he fun times we had with Isaak and the Hooligan. Memories started coming back to me from the Cape reinga tree day tour, the numerous coro loops we did and the kaiawa rides, the fish and chips jokes. Remembered the admiration that I and countless others have for this bike and Isaak - Hooligan's skillful rider.
The seed was planted falks. I realised I can't let that Hooligan go away from us, not with the history behind it, not with everything it represents - fun, good times and brilliant memories
That wednesday night I went to bed dead tired after work and what usually is a period of thirty seconds till I fall asleep became three hours. Three hours I was doing calculations in my head which portfolio to sell, whish shares to let go on the current stock market etc in order to obtain the Hooligan and not let someone else have it and not treat it with the love and respect The Hooligan deserves.
A quick call next day to my portfolio manager and the dead was done.
One small issue is that I am still 4months away from my full so untill then the White Hornet Princess (250) will be my steed of choice, with The Holligan comming out for fresh air every 2 weeks or so.
The Hooligan stays in the family falks, and I promise to take care of him and take him on many windy roads across the great country of the long white cloud.
Much love
