Title: The missus wants some space
Post by: Simon46 on June 30, 2019, 04:48:11 PM: Hi guys not been on in a while. Unfortunately I am forced to sell my pride and joys due to the wife saying she wants some space. Unfortunately irreconcilable now. Currently living in mum and dad's conservatory in Heald Green. Anyways my xt600 dt175mx and cb750 k8 are all planted on ebay at the moment as I don't have the room. Am OK. Gutted to list them but need to downsize. Many thanks for all your help. A guy called Tell will be along shortly with questions as he's bought my K8 off ebay and is a nice chap and have recommended he joins this forum. He likes his honda XL's XJ's BTW. Regards Simon

Good luck

Cheers

Dennis

I feel your pain mate .. sorry to hear you are having to sell up.

When I sold my CX500 the buyer got a bloke called Steve Dann (Danns Transport) to deliver from East Yorkshire to Anglesey even though I think the courier was based around Bristol. He seemed a decent chap when he picked up the bike and certainly strapped it in well and there were no hassles involved and I don't think it cost an arm and a leg. He seems to collect a bloody great van full from all over the place so I don't think location is that critical. Will dig his card out ... says he is fully insured

He had to take a run up to get him up
the van ramp. Then I saw him pick the back up and move it sideways :o

I rapidly put her right though with this little retort: "Actually, I think more of Manchester United, than I do of you".

We do get on much better now than we ever did when we were married !

Many more women might do well to remember that most blokes who mess around with old bikes/ cars/ boats/ tractors etc etc find that they have no time/ funds or the inclination left to mess around with floozies, jezebels, Women of ill repute and/or any others who might be 'easily' led astray.

You can't have it both ways....as those who managed to leave their marriage with just the clothes they were wearing at the time can vouch ! (me included). Hahahahahahaha.
