It's a bit like people who don't like kids. My reply is always "Good job your parents liked kids isn't it!"

I bought the same Triumph Street Triple back after one year. I missed it as soon as I got rid. Luckily for me the garage where I got rid of it hadn't sold it after a year so I bought it back for a good price. It still makes me smile every time I get on it.

Despatching, I had 4 CB250RSs ..... one running & three donating parts.

Have had 3 F650GSs, one which I sold and later bought back.

Apart from donor bikes I have never had the same bike twice. Never really thought about it but I always like to change to something different.
