Left the fold
Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 6:09 pm
Hi all,
I have left the fold for pastures new. Last week I heard that a local bike shop was getting in a Honda Blackbird finished in metalic blue, my favourite colour. Went along and it had gone. So I bought some spark plugs instead and caught my eye on a.............Honda VFR fi Anniversary. Yes I know its not blue but unusual all the same.
A deal was done and that was it, I crossed over to the dark side. Can't say for how long and if I ever get another BMW it would be another 11S or maybe a GS, only time will tell.
Its taken a bit of getting used to the indicators again, the BMW ones made perfect sense to me, and diving under braking, not bad with linked brakes but still a re-learning curve.
Thanks to everyone for advice and tips over the last 18 months or so and you never know, the cobbster may return.
Thanks, Cobbster.
