[derek kelly]

Put a deposit on a Blackbird, Stealth black, c/w hugger and headlight protector, 04 plate, ex demo 418 miles on clock,?6,995 to include ?300 worth of clothing, am I chuffed?.....You Bet I am, will be picking it up around the end of the month, although I'd better check it over as the owner of a slow red one was in the dealers at the same time, and he mentioned something about scratches, piccies to follow in about three weeks.

Cheers to Steve Brooke for the loan of a helmet and gloves for the test ride
:beer:

I'd photograph the grin on my face but it may put people off their tea.

I did it

I took the Bird out for a test ride, even the wind and rain didn't daunt me, I was a bit nervous at first not having ridden a bike for two and a half years, but once I got used to it I started enjoying it, I kept to the speed limits like a good boy....are there always so many coppers out around wakefield at 1pm?
So I am now picking it up on 1st Feb.

I've lived with jealousy all my life, as the youngest of four lads, I was the one that got the looks and the brains.... seem to have misplaced them somewhere though. anyway the jealousy brigade can make all the noises they like at the end of the day it isn't called a BLACKbird for nothing, and I think stealth sounds better than Matt.

Picking it up on the 1st of Febuary???? will it take that long to put the top coat on it then Derek,?? and are you having them sort out the scratched frame,?? "by the n/s front peg"?? :dunno: best make sure they dont blame you for it on the ride today,!!

They actually pointed out the scratches to me when I was looking at it yesterday,
I've gone for the Weiss cordura Jacket and the Caberg flip lid with additional drop down sun screen black visor,
Tried on some buffalo leathers, trousers fit perfect, jacket supposed to be a 46 chest more like 26,
gonna look around for the other stuff as they don't have a big choice at P&D,
seen some nice Kappa luggage on ebay but Studleyroger is bidding on it so I won't bid against him, try to keep the price as low as possible for him...Good luck Roger.

I have got first refusal on Dickie Brandon's Givi stuff if he swaps the VFR for a Pan. Will only need the Bird fitting kit. If I pass up on it I'll point him in your direction.
