I won't if the cunts that owned Colin Collins still have anything to do with it. Ex-employees I don't have an issue with but if the previous owners are still involved then they can **** right off.

I've called my local Kwak emporium... $12,399 for a non-ABS, $13,299 for the ABS model. Unfortunately they haven't any in stock yet, but would be happy to take a deposit. I *really* Really really want one. I suppose all it would really entail would be a fair sized helping of earache when it comes down to it. Plus the obligatory retaliatory purchases, but how many duvets and pillows can a woman actually buy, I ask you?
S'okay. I'd have only checked out who's running the new shop and if the previous cunts were involved I'd have kept the bike then lobbed them a token amount of cash and told them to **** off as far as the rest was concerned.
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Mark Olson Whaaaaat? That's pin money! ****, I'm tempted to buy one over there and get it shipped back. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer as featured in Performance Bikes and Fast Bikes WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (Falling apart) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Honda ST1100 wiv trailer
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Mark Olson Heh. A small plan is sort of proto-forming. It involves buying one on the West Coast and scratching that "ride across the USA" itch to have it shipped from New York. And it paying for itself in the saving on buying the bike. And I'm EKS, so I can take the time off to do it. <thinks> #Tomorrow I'll be sober -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer as featured in Performance Bikes and Fast Bikes WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (Falling apart) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Honda ST1100 wiv trailer

A man of impeccable taste. Blue or red? I'd like mine repainted in the dark metallic green they did the Z1000ST in.
That one doesn't look the right shade of green, either. My Z1100R was an 'A' - A878UGT. This is the one nicked from Knebworth, only a montha after I got it. ( I've got a couple of pics somewhere - I must dig them out.
Champ wrote: [of GTR1400] Indeed. I thought I really, really wanted a ZZR1400 but then I sat on one and I didn't like it.
You'll probably find that itch returning on a regular basis. I know I do, even though I've done it once already in a car on the Southernmost route. What doesn't help with scratching the itch is one's wife then goes and buys this book here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lincoln-Hig...9946011?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183711888&sr=8-1
Indeed. Lining oneself up for major disappointment. Not as big as the 1st year depreciation hit mindewe.
