Bike like that - I wouldn't want to part with it either  - bloody lovely & made when BMW quality was top quality  :good:

Running costs on the older ones are surprisingly cheap as well 

 

If he ever changes his mind, stick the cash in his hand straight away   ;)

So - he's changed his mind.

 

To give you an idea of how silly the deal is...he knows things are a little tight my side, and he doesn't need the money so the minimum payment is £250 per year (payable on his Birthday).  It's priced under market rate, and if I give him the cash sooner he's not bothered.

 

The only issue now is SWMBO

Discussion didn't go my way :( but all for valid points.

 

So keep your eye on the For Sale section as I'm going to help him sell it anyway...

That was never on the cards...if I was going to get it, it would have been to keep...
