I have been waving the biking flag again today and trying to ignite an ex-bikers fire once more..
Went to Hospital and the consultant I saw was going through the procedures I needed when he suddenly spotted my copy of 'BIKE'......(May edition with ZRX1100 feature and 1200 photo and mention)...
His eyes lit up and he asked if I rode and what I rode. When I mentioned the ZRX he became almost misty eyed, "The Eddie Lawson one?" he asked.
Turns out he had a Honda VFR 750 but when he started commuting into London he got taken out by a cager doing an illegal U-ey That, and a few horror stories from his mates, kinda put him off the idea of two wheels
He wanted another bike, but was a bit apprehensive as he's been without, though lustful for five years. I showed him the photo's of the ZRX and he was fired up...a proper big bike, just how they should look.....are they too much to handle??......are they still made??.......where can he get one and how much?? Told him Β£5500 almost anywhere now and he nearly kissed me
Got him, hook line and sinker
The man's in lust. A visit to a dealer is now a priority and on his wages, a new 2006 model with a few extras thrown in, will hardly dent the old wallet..... :broke:
I should be on commission
He was so excited he completely forgot to mention the fact that I am dying.....
(That last bit was both an exaggeration and a joke..... )
:mut: :mut:
