section moderator - Alan D

Hi All

I am afraid Alan wont be on the forum for sometime as he has had a bereavement in the family so he has taken some well needed time out.

We are not sure how long he will be offline for just that he will be away for as long as he needs to be.

Please do not PM Alan please contact one of the other moderators in the forum and we will be happy to help.

thanks

sammi

Re: section moderator - Alan D

Hello folks was a bit of a shed collapse, then tried to help wife with new buisness but she's not too well and having a lot of emotional problems pretty much down to the nighmare of 2008 and start of 2009. But hopefully will slowly get back to some sort of normality if I can remember what that is..

Still not got a B but with a bit of hope and awaiting a big cheque from the electricity company from overhead wires it may not be too long....But a bad time to buy probably. Haven't looked at prices for quite some time maybe wortha trip to ebay to see what's what.

How are you lot getting on?

Re: section moderator - Alan D

Welcome back

There's never a bad time to buy a b, well apart from recent visitor who handed theirs back because it was a 'lemon'

Normality? What's that then. But hope whatever your level is that it suits you just fine.

I think the b lot are getting along fine, even if we don't always read the rules or venture out in the wider forum.

Still the same Talking Heads - "Same as it ever was"

Re: section moderator - Alan D

Just looked at prices and there shocking the rarity value along with some excellent reviews must have pushed prices up, that and the hope of some good weather......

Some bad news my old B with it's later owner did a few spins on the dual carridgeway part near bassenthwaite lake hitting the wall twice so was pretty f**ked and I think barchetta parts was collecting last I heard.

Lemon? I thought the favoured colour was silver or orange

Re: section moderator - Alan D

nice to have you back. Hope thinks have settled down for you and your family.

Now as for buying a b there is only one way to go you buy an orange one and I'll swap you my blue one

On a serious note I was approached last week at the Bristol show by a nice biker who has a b to sell due to a divorce. If you want more details let me know.

I don't f**king believe it, it is at £1595 it's miles overpriced The lad I sold it to said he hit the wall twice I thought he said the back was damaged as well but can't see it.

Bought that front bumper new at £377 and the powerflow exhaust, and those alloys etc etc...........

Re: section moderator - Alan D

Thanks for all of the comments, I hadn't forgot what a great bunch of people were on, but had to just take a large leave period to get our heads together.

We also became very busy when trying to set my wife up in her own market buisness as she lost her job last year. Since then she began taking anxiety/panic attacks which was down to severe stress (nothing to do with the buisness) with all that happened last year and the start of this with some real horrible vivid nightmares thrown into the mix. She has been getting help professionally but it will take time.

Karen I'm still in the process of buying/looking for bigger vehicles/trailers as room in the panda and trailer is rather limited. I'm getting embarrassed with what I'm loading between the two. Although staggering that I've been able to fit two full pallets of stuff between the two
