My almost new MP3 is being sold. Hopefully on Saturday.
The original plan to have a more stable pillion for my lady wife has been scuppered.
We've recently been told that her spine is essentially buggered and only complex surgery might help, plus her left hip is not good.
I'm not prepared to risk her coming off and basically breaking like an egg shell and ending up crippled.
We're both sad that this is the case but know it's what we have to do.
I'm still riding solo on the guzzi at least.
The MP3 was certainly an experience to ride/drive. Glad I had the opportunity.
MP3 is having to go.

Re: MP3 is having to go.
I won't be gracing Hertford and Bengeo with my presence on the MP3 anymore. You'd think it was a spaceship given some of the looks I got. Too much for the rarified air of Hertford!!

Didn't realise you were that close, I'm in Hertford Heath.Buckaroo wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 11:11 am I won't be gracing Hertford and Bengeo with my presence on the MP3 anymore. You'd think it was a spaceship given some of the looks I got. Too much for the rarified air of Hertford!!

Re: MP3 is having to go.
It's my son's town, but I work with him each week and of course visit him and his family. I'm further up the A10. Hertford Heath? Probably passed each other on occasions.

That's sad to hear... getting older sucks at times.

Re: MP3 is having to go.
Sure does. And expensive with a hip replacement coming in at £15000. Hoping the NHS do the next one, else she's walking on 30 bags of cash.

Couldn't you buy a new one for less than that?Buckaroo wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:31 pmSure does. And expensive with a hip replacement coming in at £15000. Hoping the NHS do the next one, else she's walking on 30 bags of cash.

Re: MP3 is having to go. Has gone!!
In less than a day, it sold. Got a good price, no hassle, besides MCN, crooked bastards, giving me £17 refund on 9 months remaining insurance, minus £50 admin etc.
Anyway, I'm kind of pleased it's gone.
