Many thanks to John for the hassle free opportunity to finally own a BCR.
After being out of the BMW ownership loop for way too long it feels great.
I’m so unbelievably happy to own this beautiful machine - it’s a fair bit more expensive than the one I got let down over, but I’m good with that as the bike is clearly worth every penny.
Thanks to my mate Alvey (who will never read this) for driving over 500 miles to collect it for me on my birthday. Some people make me humble, Alvey is one such man.
Thank you John, I’m sure our paths will cross again someday.

Neil, it was a pleasure to do business with you. From the initial contact you were a gentleman and the selling and buying process ran like clockwork considering we never met. As you know, I am very happy you have bought the bike because you are a BCR enthusiast and I know you will cherish and look after her. All the best Mate and enjoy her when you take her out. We'll have that coffee sometime I'm sure
Cheers

Indeed it does Rob, he an awesome little man & he reckons Grandpa’s bike is cool.
I’m holding on to this one, I should never have sold Project Marmite. I won’t be making that mistake again.

Cheers John - that is how business should be done & when 2 gentlemen are involved there’s rarely a hitch.
Thank you so much for passing this on to me.

Well, 49 miles later it gets the thumbs up from the current Mrs Waterhouse as well. When asked what she thought she replied: “much better than the VMax”
I reckon that’s a result

The current Mrs Waterhouse will tell you that we own 50% each, however, the truth of the matter is it’s her car.

Nice looking bike - I need to get my finger out and get mine tidied up. Top tip - get a headlight protector - those headlights are expensive
