I do hope I can find a good home for "GhoST" (Quiet, sneaks up, and because of her looks, scares the shit out of some motorists when she's spotted in their rear vision mirror)
I can most definitely attest to that - many a time when riding with Pete I did the double take and check my speed - or riding behind Pete and having to put up with worried motorists in front dropping their speed (which made it easier to pass I suppose).
Having ridden Pete's bike and seen the care and attention he has put into maintaining it, I know the person who purchases it will have no regrets, other than not getting their hands on it earlier.
I'm quietly confident we'll see Pete back on two wheels in the future ("I plan on getting something quite a bit lighter for short trips"), provided his back continues to improve. In my case the drop from 330kg to 196kg has been noticeable, although not quite as noticeable as the drop in horse power from 115 to 39. Still good fun though.
