Oh dear. Oh dearie, dearie me...

So this friend of the in-laws has a Bonneville (not sure which model
yet). And it's got to go, because he needs the space.

And he wants it to go to someone who'd appreciate it.

And apparently it's absolutely mint.

And he's asked the in-laws if I'd be interested.

And they asked Mrs WUN. And she didn't kill me on sight.

<whimper>

I hope it's really, really expensive, so I can say "no".

Gwan, gwan, y'know you want to.

 

There's no fucking hope for you, is there?

 

Why? You've still got a few quid of the redundancy cheque and options
buy out left...

Gwan, you know you want it big boy. In fact, you know you need it.

Just imagine how your garage would look with a Norton and a Bonneville
in it, side by side, sat over matching oil pans.

Do it.

This is true.

This is also true.

Ooh, I *hope* it's over-priced. I really, really do.

Why? do you enjoy paying over the odds for things you'd buy cheaper
anyway?

Oi! I haven't bought it.

Yet.

I'm scrabbling around for reasons not to buy it, you silly spic.

I mean, what if it's not yellow?

There's always a spray shop that'd sort it.

 

It was a Bonneville that got me into bikes. Brilliant machines, I'd
bite his arm off.

 

Oh I dunno, I think you would be well suited for each other.

Well, I'm going to go and have a look. So probably, yes.

Ooh look! There's someone on Ebay selling pills to improve your
will-power! <bids>

Wrong. They were shit back then and the time that's passed hasn't made
them any less shit.

 

But you, me and the entire universe know you're going to end up buying
it anyway

 

When do you want it collecting?

 

Heard this sort of thing before. You're getting a horrible oily rusty
3TA with one wheel missing, you know that?

 

I could offer the Ape to haul it back. It'll all be in boxes anyway.

Fark. My collection/delivery time estimates are invariably wildly
optimistic, due to force majeure, the world being against me in
general and bone idleness, but yours should be far more accurate - to
within a week either way, only affected by headwinds and unfavourable
gradients.

 

...but he'll want it back this month.
