Eek. That is so painful.

I fully understand because there are times when we half-hearted offer list our bike for sale, and then before we know it - the deal's done. I regretted selling my yellow Storm last January and kept humming and harring until I got the black one.

I think you might have another 5 or so in the garage though? :cool2 :thumbup:

Great garage/workshop. I'm envious cos I have to make do with driveway and small rear yard.

Still hunting down a Cougar with spare bedroom and double heated garage! :cool2
there is another 4 motorbikes in there that cant be seen in that picture :D

but my criteria for our last house move was that it had to be
a) in the country
b) have a detached double garage with a room above for part storage

the house was a bonus :lol:

Pulled them all out to get some bits & bobs to send off.

Checked oil & tyres on Custurd & New Red.

Put the LED bulb back in Nue Red post MOT & gave it a bit of a de-fly & polish.

Mixed up some plaster type filler & made some targets for shooting... :Gun3:

Not surprising. There has been a major flurry of eBay Storm purchases over the past month (at least) especially in the sub-£1500 bracket. I wonder if more are learning that these great bikes just cannot be dismissed and overlooked?

Rode it again!!! Approx 200 mile round trip down to Weymouth to eat a 99 on the beach!
Then home, we missed all the rain, just caught a few drops 😁😷😁👍

Received my eBay 'red' pillion cover today. Now the priming and painting begins to 'Paint it Black'. :D

Replaced the fuel pump points switch, changed the peg to some nice grippy ones and tried and failed to sort out routing tubes for an oil catch tank.

I liked Croft. Simple to learn but much hard to ride than it looks. Enjoy it and I hope the weather is kind.
