But it was so god damn tough. God knows what its previous history was, or how old it was, but it hadn't had an easy life, and it didn't get one from me either. I bottomed out the front suspension hundreds of times. Rode it on every possible kind of road/trail surface. Ragged the crap out of it everywhere. Snapped most of the front mudguard off and kicked the front sprocket cover off while offroading. Permanently overloaded it with all my rucksacks and my 6'4 frame. It never missed a beat.
I really considered getting it shipped back to the UK. But there were way too many potential problems with getting it registered etc., and it would probably have been terrifying with UK traffic. I still miss you Pooey! (like "Winnie the Pooh", "Pooey the Win", geddit?)

A Benelli 125 2C, with some period mods (spannies, clip ons etc) and some less period mods.
I bought it because I'd been racing a classic 50 and this was going to be a road going homage to the race bike, however I then moved to the end of the Country for work and had nowhere to store it so I sold it.
I realised that I'd made a mistake and tried to buy it back but he'd already stripped it for parts  |

I'm selling the Striple at the moment. But one of the first people to contact me was the guy I bought it off. He wants it back. Badly. Says he's regretted selling it since the day I came to get it. So much so, he's coming to get it tomorrow. I love the idea that I get to give him back "the one that got away". 
With all the tales of regret on this thread, it's nice to be reminded that maybe, just maybe, you'll be scrolling the classifieds one day...

My 2009 Street Triple 675, wish I'd held onto it and just set money aside for proper Triumph servicing, never rode right after recovery and new stator, ridden the new 765 and doesn't have the 'fits like a glove' feel I got from the 675.
Other than that I really don't regret selling any of the others, current Fazer(s) do everything I could ask barring the madness of the Triumph on a sunny evening.

Nah I think the guy was from Manchester or somewhere around that neck of the woods but I've seen it up on facebook for sale a few times since.
Had the back end chopped down and a some kind of mesh wrapped around the front but that would've been a good couple years ago.
I spent a fair bit of time and effort on that bike, swapping out bits from other bikes. Would love to be a fly on the wall for them trying to find brake pads for it

ah i may be the same bike im thinking of or maybe another big il4 rat with that nickname.
I know what you mean about parts though, I'm in a similar boat with mine, ive got the service manuals to 4 bikes saved on my laptop to help me keep her on the road.
