Many thanks Dave, I'm sure my mate Dave (W) will enjoy it!
It was nice to "broker" a deal in this way with two mates, who both seem to be happy with the deal, rather than somebody annonymous, buying or selling! Your bike will be looked after Dave as my mate only tends to ride in summer and spends much time cleaning and looking after his bikes.
He has had quite a bit of pain from his back recently and hopefully things will improve after his operation in a few weeks time.
After that he will probably not be riding again until next spring.
Anyway, we went out for a run of around a hundred miles on Saturday afternoon, and he certainly enjoyed that, but it will take him a little while to fully appreciate it.
On a different theme, it was quite a special occasion for me.
I first started riding with my mate Dave over 46 years ago.
We have regularly been riding together at some time or other, over all these years. He has only ever stopped riding for something like about 12 months max, but I have had a few longer breaks. There have been occasions in that time when we have been out on the "same make" bikes. In the early days we both had Matchless and Triumph bikes and more recently we have both had Hondas over many years, but
never the same model bike at the same time.
I normally ride mostly on my own, but often ride with Dave in the summer and it was nice to go out together on two
Black Falcos.
One black Falco tends to get noticed, so two did get a bit of attention, and will probably get more.
We were also able to stop for a drink and discuss major issues like which exhaust is the loudest, I have Beowulf Dave's has Rene's, both with baffles in. Strangely, I thought his was the loudest, he thought mine.
One thing was certain, when he was behind me I always saw the HID dipped headlight!
The ride out was a bit of a special occasion, so thanks again Dave (C).
