....that we are just not riding our bikes enough, you know, lack of time, too much work, new house, massive garden, two kids, two dogs, so........it pains me to say this but, it looks like they are going to have to go :-(

So, if anyone is interested in a Triumph Daytona 675, 2006 on 06 plate (July), 2k miles, graphite grey, FSH, double bubble, and a Kawasaki ZX636 2006 on 06 plate (July), 2.5K miles, black (fastest colour), one lady? owner, hugger, both with remaining manufacturers warranty, then PM me for more details.

Also, loads of Dainese leather and goretex kit, namely:

Dainese HF Special leather jacket, mens size 42 chest (almost brand new)
Mens dainese firefly leather trousers, 34 waist (almost brand new)
Sidi vertebrae boots, size 9
Lady's dainese firefly leather trousers, size 8 (worn twice)
Lady's dainese cream Lola Vintage 2 leather jacket, size 8
Lady's dainese trax black/yellow leather jacket, size 10
Lady's dainese goretex trousers, size 8
Lady's dainese d-dry jacket, size 10
Lady's dainese boots, size 5
Men's dainese hellracer gloves, black/silver, size L (I think)
Men's dainese hellracer gloves, black, size S
Men's dainese jerico goretex gloves, sz S

Various kids stuff, age 8/9 inc boots, trousers, gloves and Bering jacket with armour

Damn, damn, damn

Good luck with the sales anyway. -- _________________ Adz. Check out my band www.myspace.com/silvssilva

catherine 1300cc Superstar Joined: Saturday, September 03, 2005 Posts: 913 Location: Montgomery United Kingdom	Thanks, yeah, I suppose older bikes may be an option, like you say, less money sat in the garage Gixx, I would want about �40 for the gloves, not worn much as they were my replacement summer gloves, and I've always got cold hands!! Forgot i also have dainese lady's keep leather trousers (silver writing) with sliders, size 8, well worn but good condition All that said, I suppose really we ought to get rid of the bikes before we sell the clothing, otherwise we could end up in a pickle!!! --

I'm speaking/typing from experience here, I was bikeless for 3 months and nearly cried myself to sleep. You will find time for them eventually, they are sound bikes and you love them, pleeeeeeez i beg of you not to sell them booohooooooo -- The louder you scream the harder I ride..... !!!

fredcbr6uk 1300cc Superstar Joined: Saturday, July 08, 2006 Posts: 513 Location: beccles United Kingdom	not been able to ride mine recently, lack of cash for mot, etc, and have only been able to pinch frans bike occasionally, and must say its horrible not having one. think about just getting a couple of cheap hacks, anything can be fun, if you havent ridden for a while. its a horrible decision to have to make. -- if you gonna go, go with a smile

catherine 1300cc Superstar Joined: Saturday, September 03, 2005 Posts: 913 Location: Montgomery United Kingdom	It is Fred. We keep going over and over it, neither of us want to get rid of our bikes, but at the end of the day, with depreciation, tax and insurance, they are probably costing us around 3k per year. If we only go out on them 3 times in that year, then that makes them bloody expensive ride outs!!! To say we are gutted is an understatement, but we have to be sensible. We've not long moved, we have loads to do to the house, and at the end of the day, it's just a wicked shame to leave two cracking bikes just sitting there......OMG, I'll be in tears in a mo -( --

fredcbr6uk 1300cc Superstar Joined: Saturday, July 08, 2006 Posts: 513 Location: beccles United Kingdom	how about early cbr600, u can buy them for a few hundred pounds, run them for next to nothing and prob get most of your money back when you get rid of them, almost no depreciation. thats what i do. -- if you gonna go, go with a smile
