I betrayed my first love...

Post by pumpkin66674 » Thu Apr 29, 2010 2:52 am

Hey guys,

Should have posted here years ago, hello to you.

A few weeks ago by beloved NC30 was nicked from outside the house. We spent most weekends together frolicking on the B roads of the South West. Had spent a fortune on ebay replacing every nut and bolt for originals. Was waiting for a new hanger plate to arrive (snapped off in the frost, that sounds safe) and tank was dry. Instead of accepting defeat the little scratters decided to torch it a hundred yards from the house. Another one bites the dust, sorry.

Slight taxation issue, not holding out much hope on insurance.

Anyway, some retail therapy was needed so have just bought a decent looking NC35. Thought I would upgrade to my first love's sexier younger sister. Lady owner, 10K on the clock, happy I have got a reasonable deal. Now I'm not sure...Do upside down forks and more mid range really compensate for betraying my beloved? I even liked her picky attitude to rear end tyres, what have I done?

Thoughts?

PS - I want some 35 fanatics to put their arms around me and tell me its ok, she's gone, time to move on. Told you so's will be depressing.

Its still a V4 so her spirit dont come and haunt you. If the torching was severe enough to condone you buying another then you still honoured her :)

Might be appropriate to give her a proper viking burial...

You'll return to her sort one day....
