New bike #2

Post by bobsnicholson »

As mentioned i was thinking of getting a new bike.
Well today i bought a BMW R12 RnineT. San Remo Green.
Pick it up Monday if it's not pissing down.
I consider it being my last bike i am likely to buy.

Just looked at my packed diary :D it would appear the 7th is an empty page so who knows.

Insurance done on the new bike. £266 Benetts.

Nice bike Bob ,
The FJR is ten yrs old next year and I've been given permission to "look" for a replacement and fancy going down the BM route . Not sure which one yet .
Nowt wrong with the Yam but while it's still worth something and before the big bills start coming in .

Off to Ireland this Thursday for a two wheel adventure; but apologies; Ring of Kerry cycling sportive on Saturday 6th
It wasn't my fault , I was left unsupervised !

Didn't pick it up yesterday, guess why.
Maybe today if it stops pissing down.
