    I knew it was bad when the police called to say they'd found it and getting it away quickly was really imperative. They said they'd removed valuables ( handed me a bin bag with an AA manual) I thought the car must be effed. Plod isolated the vehicle ( removed sissy cap and leads) they were just going to drop me off - in the dark - working out the firing order etc. The car was totalled by insurer when back in Wales. All dials, graphic equaliser, stereo and speakers - gone....:sob:

    Those old Fords had the worst lock system ever. Just slide a metal coat hanger down the door jamb and pull up the lock knob. Three minutes and you were in. That timeline includes looking for the coat hanger ! The ignition switches weren’t much better , any old Ford key would work in the barrel once it had a bit of wear on it.

    I wanted her to ride with me so I got a Street Glide , which in hindsight was a great choice , I've had it since 2007 , the heated grips, seat , and stereo make long trips a dream, the TFC is for when I want to have fun.
    There's nothing I wouldn't do to see her smile ...

    Regretted selling my 98 Blade.

    But if I hadn't got rid of that, I wouldn't have a Daytona in the garage now, so swings and roundabouts.
