Ever known that you'll regret it?

[Easytigers]

Yesterday I sold one of my bikes. To be fair I had five and it's now down to four...the wife is a lot happier as there is more room in the garage and the money received has paid for our summer holiday (nothing special but at least paid for!).

Thing is, it was the first bike that I'd completely specced for myself using custom build. I Ioved it and it was never going to be bettered...until I got my latest carbon. The wife said that something had to go (thankfully not me) so I put it on a local buy/sell.

It went to a local youngster who was completely made up that his parents had bought it for him...his reaction when they said that he could have it put a massive smile on my face! However, as soon as it was wheeled off the drive I felt really sad :-(

Ever sold anything and wished that you hadn't?

Models mainly (trains and planes), but nothing major like that.

I was once larking about with a VERY sharp knife, chopping at a piece of stick.
I watched the blade thumping into the wood and thought, bugger, my fingers are close...and within seconds...I was regretting my actions.

About 4,000 cars, 100 motorbikes, a few houses, a boat and one bike.

There would have been a lot of them in my 4,000. The wife has just told me it was more like 5,000+++

I don't seem to get around to selling very much at all.

That's why our house looks like the first 20 minutes of those Compulsive Hoarders programs.

400cc Honda Bros. I loved that bike and it rode like a dream but the pillion seat was too small and Mrs SJ was a regular passenger.

I always regretted not sourcing a replacement seat.

Kawasaki kz750 Spectre (Can't find another) and a load of wristwatches that I wish I could get back.

My 1982 Ford Granada. Magnificent car and so utterly smooth. All original, had only done 40k miles when I sold it, in 2009.

Thinking that, in about 1970, it would be a good idea to open a tin of beans with an axe.....

7 stitches in my left thumb later, I realized I was erring on the side of stupidity.

My first really good bike. Sold to raise funds to go to college, around 1964. Ted Gerrard, Campag everything, sprints and tubs. I sold my Dinky toys and Meccano to help pay for it.
