Bye Bye baby


It's done- money has changed hands, official forms have been completed in triplicate, and my shiny baby is mine no more.
I was stupid enough to take her for a ride last night- sweet engine, incredible handling, superb brakes and deep, glossy paintwork. Just the way I built her. I feel remorse, but not enough to challenge the logic of selling her.

>I wasnt using her, she just sat there gathering dust.
>She isnt fast enough to get me my full bike license- I need to do the test at motorway speeds. 50mph is close, but not fast enough.
>$1800 is enough to put a serious dent in my laptop repayments.

Besides I need to make the Sprite my priority, its FAR more fun than the Vespa...

It's like giving a sweet dog to a home that will be better for her. You did the right, if difficult, thing.

*Sniff*
Saying goodbye to a beautiful friend is so hard.

I know the feeling, my friend. Better to be where they're useful, appreciated, and ridden.

Its just hard when you stripped, replated, repainted, and upgraded every single component yourself.

Ah well, the new owner rode her away this afternoon, popped a big wheelie down the street so I know she's in good hands.
