to be fair, my reasons for dissertion have been well documented.
But, I now have a BMW R1100GS AND a Falco
Yes dear, it's up for sale dear, but it's the wrong time of year, may take a while to sell dear

Just SORN the Falco over winter, it won't cost anything, then sell the BM next year with practically no depreciation.

Funny innit, I tried an R1100GS 3 years or so ago, I didn't like it one bit, then the 1200 came out, a totally different animal and I bought one only to have it nicked
Then I bought the Falco, which if I'd ignored my prejudices a few years ago I might still be riding, ho hum

I'll still be here. Six years of ownership and 32,000miles, tried all sorts to swap and still found nothing better.

Dont't even need to do that, it's taxed and mot'd till next year.
Trouble is, I taken the mille yellow spring shock off (sold it) and put the original on so if I ride it now I will only feel disappointed (took me bloody ages to get the mille shock and linkages as well

)

Resigned myself that it may take a while to sell but I'm determined not to give it away thats for sure.
