Sold the zx6r :(

He's coming next week to pick it up but he's sent me a deposit.

Oh well, I've lost a shit load of money but no point dwelling on it.

Sad to hear, but at least you can move on now.

In the plus side, new bike shopping thread :)

I suppose another sort of plus point is that it sold pretty quickly.

Yep, which my wife is pleased about as it means I can have a clear out and there's not bits of bike lying around.

I've got a back up buyer as well, so it's going one way or another.

Sad that it had to go but at least it won't lie around rusting over the winter and you can start looking at new bikes.

Caned the 748 round some of my favourite roads again this morning. Not many rides left on it now this season as the tyres are nearly shot and don't want to spend anymore on it for now before its winter rebirth.

Fitted the new screen to the Multi, managed to drop the screen and put a nick in it on the garage floor while fitting it (facepalm)

Took the bike for a quick run and all the buffeting has gone and the view is much better.

And discovered the new jacket I bought is a size too big, so swapping it tomorrow morning.
