Some days ...
gus Sun 23 Sep 2012, 5:28 pm
it pays to stay home . 
Decided to take the Aprilia for coffee at Kenilworth and then who -knows .On way into Kenilworth noticed fuel light slightly glowing ,strange since i knew i had a full tank .Never mind me thinks ,probably just a poor connection ,ignore it .
After coffee bike says "too tired " to start so its a push start .
40 kls from home bike says "i need a sleep" and stops in a no phone area .Battery dead flat .
Stand in hot sun in full leather "hitching " home for spare battery .Apparently i look dodgy .
Get to phone reception area and call cab .$40 later i'm home
Put spare battery in car ,back to bike , it fires up ,ride home .Leaving car behind .
Look at bike in shed connector from reg. has come un-clipped .2 min.Fix .
Now i have to go back and get car .
I'm never going out again .

Sorry about that, computer had a freeze moment .
Now the strange bit .
The house that i left the car and bike at has always been a favourite of mine . 2.5 acreas small house ,double shed .
Turns out its for sale and they showed me around when i picked the car up .2 dams under $400,000
We BOTH want it .Nearly possible ,just .
Does my Aprilia have a second sence ,maybe .

Its an omen!
Sell the Aprilia as a deposit, keep the Bandit and build a stable for your ass...

You can only put in an offer Gus ....as 2WA says great time to buy , but not so good to sell if you need to sell yours first .
