    I’ll have to drop out to Noel to see what he has actually. If it’s not a busa it’ll be an S1000 my phone is hopping over the scooter, many silky offers however

    Is it actually worth selling it?
    I'm I right in saying you've put a bit of money into it?
    If you've have any slight attachment to it, I'd keep it if I was you.
    For what you'll get out of the money you get for it.
    If the cash isn't that important I rather have the bike.

    I’ve gotten to a point where I wouldn’t make back what I’ve put into it. I’ve taken the adverts ad down as my daughter who has special needs became upset this morning when she found out it was up for sale. I didn’t realise she was attached to it, she pleaded with me to keep it, the wife said she’ll turn a blind eye to whatever else I bring in as a result once it keeps the child happy. The only thing actually wrong with it is the tachometer isn’t working, KC systems in Watergrasshill said they’ll fix it for €30.

    Always do as your kids tell you, they’ll be the ones choosing your nursing home :pac:

    At the very least it's money in the bank(better in fact)as if kept in good nick it's never going to drop any more in value.


    And on a final note...
    When you are going to that nursing home you speak of, they'll be looking for your cash to pay for it.
    A "few" bikes hidden away will be no harm. ;)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Bikes generally don't have direct access to the sump like cars, some do but a lot are dry sump engines which hold their oil in a separate tank.
    Access on most bikes is not hard like crawling under a car and undoing a plastic cover before you even get to the sump bolt.
    What bike do you have that you are thinking of using a suction pump on?

    Yeah just over 2 years ago. One of only 2 of that model in that colour in Cork. It’s a beauty and gets admiration nearly everywhere I go. I ended up with it as I was on a learner permit and my options for insurance were limited due to being on a learner permit. I must’ve spent €3-4K just on the extras, the receipts are there. The last photo was the day I got it, you can see the work I put into it.

    I’ve never had a pillion on any of the current bikes, but listermint is on the button where these are concerned. The ‘watching’ and ‘views’ on the ad have rocketed since I posted it here. If it doesn’t sell I’ll not be disappointed but based on the list the wife gave me yesterday of the requirements for the kids it looks like they’ll be funded by the Strom being sold, I have a deal agreed on principle with a dealer to trade it for a GPZ and cash my way for it, I’ll get a classic/vintage bike, the wife will get a cash injection for the family so she’ll shut up and let me alone, and we’ll I’ll just plan long term bikes. A S1000RR & GL1800 are on my list of bikes to get. I’ll get divorced before I part with the busa, sane dealer told me keep my blade. I’ve no doubt the Strom will be a classic one day, but mine won’t be for 20 years.

    They're extremely popular especially in that colour it's rare enough especially in Ireland.
    .why they popular? Reliable as fk. Carry two up no worries. Commute with ease. Absolute miser on fuel. And they are nippy. Like not sportsbike nippy but they are not a slouch . Decent ones will sell quickly. Great starter and longer bike.

    The colour is the attraction I think. One of one two in Cork.
