Title: Found one.........
Post by: Gtrtim2 on May 27, 2013, 08:33:23 AM
Hi All,

Bought one, 2009 silver 13742 miles £7800... I think that's ok. Quite good nick, some scuffs on the panniers....big footed pillion me thinks, but should polish out, otherwise all good.


Well here's to Thursday when I pick her up.

Cheers

ok :agree: I'm  :no: spring chicken :sad: hence.. the reason why I chuck the towel in with the middle weight super sports and went back to the ZZR :smiley: but not that old I go bowling like someone else we know that's not a "100 miles away" :whistling: so on my reckoning, I've got at least another decade and half before I put my self out to pasture just yet :mfr_lol:

Theres nowt wrong with bowling, Its just marbles for grown ups  :yes: . Ya know, a sunny afternoon, a couple of hours to spare, up to the bowling green to roll a few woods and pass a bit of time, all the while you lot are working trying to keep the countrys head above water. Anyhow unlike you I dont let my good lady bully me into doing all the chores like ironing, hoovering, washing the dishes and baby sitting  :eek: I actually spend lots of time riding motorbikes,  and I !!! never !!!! make excuses for not doing so. Anyway must dash, I'm off for a walk through the Dales today with some other old codgers. then tomorrow there will be a full days motorcycling, and then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday there will be lots more motorcycling   :whistling: :whistling:  :whistling:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes: :banana:  :banana:  :banana:  :banana: Da ya fancy it Dave?.     Must dash.  Dont work to hard.       :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Neither of you are out to pasture yet.
You will know when you are because the badge on the side of your bike will read GoldWing or K1600GT.  :mfr_lol: :popcorn:

Sounds like a decent bike Tim.
You will miss the power of the Busa but just remember that you can ride GTR for longer.  :punk:

I sometimes meet up with a few members, such as loanwolf or the Rossendale rider, other's are either to far away or can't be bothered :grin: I often ride north wales with a few mates or solo, and normally end up at the ponderosa on the horse shoe pass :smiley: and I'm quite sure that the wolf will be  :shocked: that I call into the ponderosa on my travels :grin:

p.s you welcome to ride along any time you want :smiley: but we or myself :smiley: often cover 200 miles plus around wales :smiley: that's if you don't mind riding with someone who sacked the GTR for another ZZR :mfr_lol:
