Just to let you know that mine is now sold so sorry Rick if you were thinking of it. Looks like you'll still be able to pick up a good one though.

Well I've only gone and bought a bloody Falco! Seen a couple of bikes now and AJ's was by far the best so Ill go and pick it up in two weeks or so :)

Thanks to you all for offering your bikes for sale (apart from TwinNut... what a wasted journey that was... I suggest you discuss with the wife what price you want to sell your bike for before offering it for sale!) and those of you who have offered advice.

Well done Rick, AJ's did look like a nice one. Be sure to post up your thoughts after you've given it a good thrashing.

Yet another Happy Ending brought to you courtesy of this site.
Aaaahhh :smt007

It's so nice when things come together well.
Hope you enjoy the bike Rick, I'm sure you'll come back and tell us all about it, when you get it home.
Give it a bit of time as it will feel very different from an IL4, and you need a while to re-acclimatise, took me about a thousand miles.
Otherwise just enjoy it! :smt001

Yeah, as soon as I've picked it up and ridden it home I'll post my thoughts :)

Looking forward to it now :) :)

I will stick around this site as you lot are a good bunch, even though I'll be Aprilialess :smt009

No worries Andy I'll be bringing a rucksack so it can go in there.

And yes I am mad, but I only usually do these sorts of things if I'm sure it's worth it!

Still paying for lack of sleep... :smt015
