NBT: I’ve just bought my forever bike, part 2!

Post by Taipan »

So the AT was a bit too big to carve through London’s traffic and after a few near misses due to stumbling with it etc, I decided to move it on and go for what I wanted in the first place .

Local dealer had a one owner X-ADV which they’d supplied and serviced from new. It had a Akra and a tail tidy fitted by them from day 1 as well. 4400 miles and serviced annually.

Quick ride home and was instantly at home on it and filtering with confidence as I bossed the seafront at Sarfend! 8-)

Security wise I have a 19mm Almax at home and a 16mm pramasis at work and a Abus disc lock. So hopefully I’ll keep it for a while! :think:

Love it and it's much more" you" ( or me TBH) than that AT I reckon :thumbup:
Have everything crossed for you that any of life's scumbags don't get this one too- I can understand why they are attractive to them !

Happy new bike day :thumbup:
I must admit I thought your AT would have been long gone by now.Are you keeping the other Honda?
Here's hoping the local scum don't have eye's for the new scooter.
