UK Pete's Sandcast - Investment.. or not?
The year 2055... Pete, wife & kids on their third downsize... a tiny home, somewhere far away. Single bedroom, (coz its the only dry spot) given over to a 1969 CB750 Sandcast ... IMMACULATE: just as it left the factory 86 years previously. Family sleeping rough in the living room etc.
Pete is sitting on a goldmine... he knows it... worse, they do too.
Mrs Pete, "C'mon luv, I'm fed up of bread & crisps & DVDs reruns of Eastenders... I've seen 'em all 1000 times. Sell that bloody bike... you know, that Sandy one that was gonna be our pension. Let's buy back our nice 'ouse and treat ourselves to cruises galore & a trip to Mars"
Pete. "No, eff off..."
The Rabbit. "Squeak.. after all them sodding years I've been there for you, telling where to drill, how to set up the carbs, wire bloody lights .... my back side is raw from buffing.....and this is how you repay me.. a life in the fucking Hebrides."
Pete. Kick..
Offspring Pete, "Shite dad, you're too bloody doddery to ride it, you're nearly as old as the bloody thing ... we could all come with you on that Mars holiday. Besides which, I'm fed up of gruel... you were meant to take care of us. Sell it. SELL IT."
Pete. "I've just told your mother & the rabbit.. NO! Sod off. Over my dead body!"
...........
Ah. ..."Over my dead body"... Nobody kid yourselves, this is no investment plan, pension scheme etc. It can only ever be a commitment, life long love affair whatever.
Besides, who in their right mind would not take such a thing to his grave....
Enjoy the 'adventure' Pete...

You have just got to be careful with NOS parts Pete as an investment. During one of the (many) heated moments with my argumentative daughter she yelled at me " and you can shift that junk you put underneath my bed because if you don't I am taking it all to the tip". The junk was a 750 NOS front mudguard, NOS 750K1 seat and a new set of HM300 pipes? So I shifted them pronto into the loft ! What a cruel dad putting 'junk' underneath her bed :-[
Cheers ... AshD
