    Has anyone met the original owner ....

    Of their second hand bike . A couple of weeks ago i was traveling from Belfast to Stranraer via the Stena H.S.S. And i pulled up beside a G.S.1150 in the queue . The rider of the G.S. was taking an interest in my Africa Twin .We got talking he was heading for France and i was heading to Edinburgh for a motorcycle Rally. As he looked round my @ he said it was his bike that he bought brand new in 1999 . John was his name told me he had the @ for three years and traded it in to the Motorcycle shop were i got it last year with 20,000 miles on it .Another guy called Dennis had the @ for four years and put just over 8,000 miles on the @ and traded it for a cbr 600 . John said the bike was in great condition " He was able to tell me about the Gel pad in the seat " which i got back from G.A.Wells " when i sent the seat to get sorted out. Anyone else met a previous owner by chance or seen a bike they used to own.fw750x
    Sometimes when i think the world,s all bad , Then i see some people on Motorcycles it makes me take another look. Steve Mcqueen.
