MarkW Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I know I got rid of my Harley last year, but there's something about that massive V-twin that gets under your skin. I'd love a new Fat Boy - I took one for a spin before getting the Electra Glide and it was a complete blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 All set for tomorrow. I got an amazing deal on my rail ticket through One of the Ticket Splitting websites . £23 which includes the Tube from Euston to Victoria . The seller is picking me up at Fratton Station . Unless the bikes got no pistons in it this is a mere formality . I haven't got the Gaul to haggle the price ( which is very good anyway ) because the seller has effectively kept this bike for me after my first GSXR buyer f****d me around. I'm resigned to the fact that it's going to rain so I'll be spending all day Sunday cleaning it which is an excellent way to get to know a new bike .

fastbob Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Ok so I'm home , what a day ! Everything went to plan . I set off at 05:30 this morning with a short walk to Coventry Station , train to Euston , tube to Victoria , train to Southsea. The seller, a top bloke called Neil was waiting at the station .Driven to Neil's house which was an immaculate pad with an Enfield parked in the lounge . Saw the bike , couldn't fault it , cup of tea, drove to bank , said some magic words and transferred £4200 worth of imaginary money . Went back , scribbled on some bits of paper , shook hands and rode home on a Harley in a f*****g hurricane . Next week a big box will arrive at my house with the solo seat and rack , the original mufflers ( silencers ) the truly enormous owners handbook, and most importantly the original heat shields. It's nice when things all go right for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
