Sold my first bike today

[CorriganJ]

Sold my first motorbike today... It was a crappy 125 that broke down EVERY time I rode it but... it was MY crappy 125 and I had some great memories with it. She will be missed.

Sometimes I think its important to realise that people aren't going to be as excited, or interested, in the same things you are; like the sale, for example.

Ste, how many clips for "broke down while riding it?"

All 125s are crappy. But that’s what makes a lot of them shitloads of fun.

So what’s replacing this bike?

This of course highlights where insurance falls short; if a bike gets nicked, you (hopefully) can get the money back to buy something similar, but even if you get the same model, it won't be "your" bike with the memories associated with it.

Keep us posted on the new machine. It'll feel like a rocket compared with your 125.

The only 125 I ever owned I bought for my wife. She did her CBT on a scooter and despite lots of trying to get used to gears she just couldn't, so it went unused by her.....

Which was good for me as I had a ~18 mile commute through part country roads and part congested town centre and the little YBR was mighty for it. Absolutely loved hooning it about. Was a shame to sell it TBH.
