Took the Llanelli to Milford Haven & got some strange looks as I was wearing my Hein Gericke Tuareg outfit & carrying a helmet. One guy on the train even asked me if I was going for a ride.
Got picked up at the station by the seller in his brand new BMW X3 ( nice car ). After handing over a wad, which he did not count & signing the paperwork we walked to the garage.
There it was , my new bike, Pan Euro 1300 in silver. I was shown around the controls & I started the engine for the first time. Mmmmm sounded good.
Now I would not advise buying a bike in this way but I trust the seller.
Off I went down the road & it immediately felt right. Out on the open roads & all was quiet behind the electrically adjusted screen, gears clicked into place, looked at the speedo & oops throttle back a bit.
Corner coming up, change down,turn in , open throttle a little to maintain speed , watch the vanishing point receed , open throttle a bit more & oops, watch that speedo again. No dramas & I do like the linked brakes. Must try the abs but not today.
Get it home, into the garage,down comes the rain.
Perfick...... this affair will last.
Dear wife( aka SENIOR MANAGEMENT, I know my place ) takes one look & tells me bikes all look the same to her. Ah! bless & thanks for my new toy.
