Gone but not forgotten

The VT250 which has adorned my back garden patio for at least four years
has finally been picked up by the council. :-(

It's for the best, but still hurts a little.

On Tuesday I made the final decision to lay her to rest and as she had
seized up good and proper, it took me ages to literally drag her around
the side of the flat to the front garden.

I then took a slow, but respectful walk to the postbox to send the
registration form off to the council.

Today I arrived home and the little one had gone. Probably best I wasn't
here to see it being chucked in the back of a van, or I might have shed
a tear or two.

She had probably the loudest end can of all the bikes I've had, but I
loved her. I remember fondly the electrics cutting out at the most
inopportune moments and the erratic winking of her dinky little
indicators.

RIP little Spada.

 

are you that tiny bird? ..the pretty one?

 

Sits back with Popcorn and awaits the next "Slimy pickup line" festival
winners attempt....................

Indeed, tis a shame but it had probably gone a bit too far.

But you've got a CBR600.

even by your standards that's pretty bad for a chat up line.

 

Ahem, I seem to recall a few of yours at the NEC a few years back too!
;-)

 

Good effort, but could do better. ;-)

You tell him Suze. Someone as charming, witty, intelligent and drop-dead
gorgeous as you deserves the very finest of hand-crafted efforts.

I think so. There's a big empty space now - just wondering what I can
put there next! ;-)

Hmm, maybe I'd better use clean spanners and brush my hair first

Good suggestion, but I'm beginning to think BBQ for those lovely summer
days.

Only beginning?

You'll be choking that wafting smoke with a chrome plated fish-slice
before you know it.

Oh, and don't forget yer apron!
