KirriePete Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Once the daughter-in-law got shot of the SR125 I had no Yamaha connection, so kinda drifted away ..... until today. Here's how it's happened: Monday sold the H*nda NTV650, came home and had a look on ebay for a replacement - spotted a candidate with 15 minutes left on the auction. Put a bid £10 above the current highest bidder with 30 seconds to go, ebay said "Feck orf, it's gotta be £20 more or nowt", so I went that extra tenner and slid the winning bid in with 3 seconds on the clock. Tuesday spoke to the guy selling and arranged to pick it up today (Friday) This morning, up at "Way too early o'clock" to catch the 6:32 out of Dundee, got down to Bolton just after 11:30. Met by Andy and his missus - top people - got taken to their place, chatted, drank coffee, handed over a bundle of Scottish paper and picked up keys. Got led out of Bolton by missus so I wouldn't get lost on my way to the M6, then blatted back up to Teuchterland. Got in at 7:15 after 295 miles, 3 fillups and several coffees in just over 5 hours. What was I riding? What have I got in my back garden now? This little beauty: Love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
