Due to a change in circumstances my bike is for sale

Hi All,

I'm afraid it's come to this, but it's time to sell the bike Many of you will know this was the route I took after I gave up the Thundercat. It's been a fantastic 4 years and, despite my fondness for the 'cat, I have never regretted making the change. The mileage reflects all the rideouts arranged on this site! A pic and further details appear below. If you, or anyone else you know, want to see more look here.

Bottom line - £3795 ono. I shall be advertising it more widely in a couple of weeks, but I thought I'd give you all prior notice.

Cheers, Chris

Maybe age is catching up with you and its time for something steadier???

Best of luck with the sale Chris, can we guess what you bought (BMW)?

Hmmmm. I have a feeling about this one!!! and I don't think the new machine will be "steadier"

I guess another addition to the family is on the way then Chris?

Something with a few more horses? or less?

Now you'r getting on a little Chris, perhaps a nice little Austin 7 would fit the bill !!!

Ahh, Terry, an Austin 7 - I knew I could rely on you
I'll take a comment like that from you, but these other whipper-snappers! The cheek!

Don't write me off yet
50 is the new 30, so what's the under-seat storage on the Thundercat for - your comforter!

I intend on keeping you guessing New bike arrives the Wee Mac weekend (I'm SO excited :bounce: )
I'll see a fair few of you at Bishops Castle, but will probably blurt it out before then.

Chris

PS a BMW (tsk!)

Another German beast maybe??


NSU Quickly...they did a RR version with a carbon fibre shopping basket....

I think you should go for a 2001 Fireblade, a black and silver one with 30k on the clock to be more precise..

Actually, I happen to have one going

: )

Nah ....... i reckon he'll have gone the whole hog and got a Pan
(sorry Sooty - if memory serves me correct i think you owned up to replacing yours with one although i'll let you off as it wasn't self inflicted!)

We talked about this in Braemar last year Chris , and i can't bloody remember what you were planning (MV Agusta)?

I've only just seen this thread , what did you get Chris ?

Good Point Espaceman.......Bet he is fizzing at the lot of us for forgetting

Bet it's black and nearly as good as a Thundercat!

Aye Cmon Chris. Spit it out!!
Has it arrived yet?

I know whay it is! If Greencat does'nt spill the beans in the next 24 hours I'll yus all.

I'm being bullied! I don't believe it!! Where's the button for that?
Tes you 'grass' Betrayal. Infamy. You've all got it in for me

OK. OK. The beast has arrived, but I'm still running it in and getting v frustrated
Now I know what it's like to ride a restricted bike - it ain't no fun!

I suppose I can't keep it a secret any longer so here's a link to some pics. The 'Box Brownie' was playing up so pic's not too clear. I gave the 'good' camera to Tom. There's a couple he's taken too. Link.





















Now you have 24hrs. Then I'll post up a proper pic! :lol3:

Chris

It's the same bloody bike.

Lol. Just watch that rev limiter.

Less than 12 hours now Chris, tic toc tic toc etc.

I can exclusively reveal I saw Chris the other day on his new bike.....Now might be a good time to retreat

Well I heard it's a really expensive bike and Chris has had to cut down on food and clothing

I don't know what it is. But the Box Brownie picture clearly (or, rather, fuzzily) shows a single-sided swingarm. Looking at the mirrors, rear light, wheel design and exhausts, I'm saying 848.

If you put a challenge out there, someone's gonna take it! Hope I didn't ruin the reveal!

Something sedate and comfy - Diavel perhaps?
