Bye bye Doris

[boboneleg]

Yesterday I delivered Doris MK5 to her new owner, after owning and riding her for 7 years (the fifth DR350 I've owned ) she has gone to a new home.

The replacement is a KTM400EXC, and the two bikes are like chalk and cheese, is this a good move? only time will tell.

I'm still hankering after a CRF250Rally and Fowlers have reduced the price to £5094 otr for a limited time, food for thought.

Signor Bob.....a man of your age should put slippers on, lit a pipe and sit by the fire.....what you doing buying and selling bikes !! Honestly......

A bit of a change never hurt anyone Bob (unless the mrs finds out). There's more DRs out there if the KTee doesn't work out.

You mean slipper.

A change is always good Bob, I'm sure it'll work out.

I'm sure the new owner will love it.
Exc400 are awesome bikes... still miss mine. Might be tempted again.

I've had a test ride already Chris, Fowlers have a great deal at the moment but it ends soon. I'm away in France at the moment but I need to make a decision when I get back, I haven't bought a brand new bike since 1982

I got mine for £5,049 OTR. Mind you, I have been adding a few mods of my own....

I've just fired up an old acquaintance of yours Bob.
Whealie talked me into it when he drove me home pissed one night.

Really good to hear from you Kev, get yourself out for a ride on that old Doris

Hello Bob.
I will. New battery to fit and mot.
Dripping petrol when I leave the petcocks open......I'll bounce it around a bit.
Clear the cobwebs.

That'll be the o ring on the needle valve, they perish after a while.

Guess what I just bought Chris, although I got done as I paid £1.00 more than you, mind you I got a free pen

 

[Philwhiskeydrinker]

Free pen makes all the difference Bob [emoji15]
