well bazz you can come and go on this forum as you like, your always welcome here.

That's a tough call to make Bazz, but sounds like you're in the right frame of mind about it. Look after that family of yours as well as yourself. Hope you get a legover again some time in the future

don't say goodbye bazz, i can understand you don't want to hurt yourself, and if you know it's best for you to stop riding then that's cool, but unless it's too hard to be around other riders on here you should stay, your advice and experience is invaluable and it's nice to be wanted.
take it easy either way, ok?

Hey Bazz,

Heard about this on the weekend.  It sux. 

As the rest have said, you're always welcome around here though.  You are one of the true characters on this forum and it would be a sad day for all if you decided to give it away.

bloody hell Bazz....that's the difference mate, you TRY and sell your bike...they all say "don't go, we need you".

I get mine pinched and all I get is "see you, go join the Triumph club or something!"

Hope things improve! 

thanks every body for the support but im afaid you all will have too put up with me for a bit longer sold my cage instead  

Great choice Bazz, you know we'll put up with you for as long as you wish to stay.
You could buy a smart car, maybe about as close to a bike as your gonna get to a bike.
Or if you can blow a hole in the closest ATM you could get a Lotus 111R.

Buy a F250 then you can yank the closest ATM and you could then get a Lotus 111R too.

There you go Bazz.
F250 = 1250 NM torque
111R = 141kw of power
Monster S4Rs = 

Better still, get this an Ariel Atom. You can still use your helmet and gloves, get wet when it rains but not worry about feeling.
Well worry but in a different way, feeling like your about to hurled off the road at every corner.

did you all see the Danish built Carver tri-wheeler on top gear a few weeks back?

go get it bazz!

yeah, but I'd hate to see what the import costs are!

I assume you know that Bazz's closest ATM actually did get blown up recently. If not, its rather prophetic and a bit eerie?

Nup, didn't know that!
Baz, what's going on, are you making special withdrawals
