That’s must be a really hard decision to part with your pride & joy.
I am sure it will find a good home soon.
Best of luck Whizz

Well I got a call from a bloke who was interested in my ST, he came over this afternoon and, to cut a long story short, he has bought it. He took it for a ride around some of the local roads and was obviously very happy with it, so we just talked money, came to a deal and he gave me a deposit.

Can anyone tell me if they know of a bike inspector in or close to Ipswich who can come over and give me the necessary signed paperwork for the sale?, hopefully latter this week so the buyer can come and pick it up on Sunday.

I also tried to get the chap to look at joining OzSTOC as a new member, he seemed somewhat put off by the Ulysses Club but after I explained about us being far more ride-oriented rather than politically oriented he seemed more happy, so hopefully he will come along and join up.

Anyway, come this weekend I won't have a bike for at least the next 8 months, sorry guys!!!
Cheers,
Paul

A good outcome given the circumstances.  I am sure I will see you on the road on a bike in the future  :thumbs

Very pleased you finally found a buyer.
I think you'll have to phone around the bike shops in Ippy.  Tell them the circumstances and find one that will do a RWC at your place.  There are fellows who advertise that they do it for cars, I know.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Commiserations Whizz..... But look at it this way.... When the next generation ST is released you'll be free to go down and pick one up and be the first in the club with one...... :clap
