axl Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yep as stated in "the bar", I'm selling the YZF, I'm getting to auld n sore, I'm not giving up bike's, oh no!!!. But I'll go for a FJ1200 if I can find one, I know it wont be the balls out "head in the clocks, arse in the air" of the yzf, but thats life!. But it's all thanks to my bike smash from years ago, yep there's few thinks "showing up" now, bastard! :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 Y'know summit XT, my mate said that, I told him to behave himself!, no really, I think I'm gona try and go for another FJ12. I did really like it, but it's like the Cinderella song I heard years ago, "you dont know what youv'e got till it's gone". Yep!, a truer word couldn't be spoken in my case. And the same could be said for the BM I had this time a year ago too :evil:. By f*ck, Iv'e really made alot of big big mistakes in the last year :evil: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 We all make buying errors axl...but take my advice....get a test ride on an XT, and then tell me that you didn't have the most fun on a bike in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yea this time Iv'e made my mind up, I will go another FJ12, problem is finding one . XT.........I'll be "two up" alot if/when I can find another FJ, so I dont think the XT will be suitable, thats not saying it's not a good bike.

axl Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 No not yet, I was going for the 04 R1, but nope!, sports bikes are nockin' the shit outa me, just an auld fart noo! . I'm looking through just about every bike web site for ads I can find, but as you'll know by now Iv'e decided to go for another FJ12. It's a bit weird having a mom who's into bike's, really fekin' weird! :roll: Eh, it's "Mom" Yammie, she's American!!, born in the Bonnie land quite a few years ago, but spent the last 40 yrs in the NJ.
