Featured Got A Surprise Letter This Morning

I got a surprise letter this morning and NO it wasn't a summons
You all remember my Tbird (you should - I've posted enough Pictures )
I bought the bike 2/3 years ago, custom paintwork etc, tracked down the painter and having spoke to him found out he had pictures of paint job in various stages and he also carried on and painted the owners Piss pot in the same union jack colours, Buggar thought I a matching piss pot how nice, So I wrote to last owner telling him I had just acquired his previous bike and was over the moon with it, told him I'de spoke to guy who painted it etc in the faint hope he may have wrote back and perhaps mentioned the helmet in the hope I could buy it perhaps, as at the time didn't want to ask for that as well,
Turned out no reply was forthcoming at all, I new the guy was a businessman and thought he was to busy and wasn't bothered by my letter,
So now nearly 3 years later a letter arrives asking me to call him as he has a few questions for me regards his bike, turns out he's now sold his business and retired moved house letter although he kept it, it was lost until now and just re-discovered,
Long story short bike holds memories for him and due to recent events it holds even more now,
he wants to buy it back, made a mistake selling it (think we've all been there) asked me to consider selling it back to him (F.Y.I . near to price I paid 2/3 years ago) Went on to say my take on things busy businessman and to busy was in fact correct at the time.
I told him I loved the bike and so do lots of other folk, to be honest with you all I thought this would be my last bike buy ever, only thing i could do was tell him I would consider his offer and give it some thought .
What a turn up for the books, never saw this coming at all. Funny old world we all share,
Thoughts Guys ?

 

To be honest bikerman I've been in his position regrets wise a few times, but not ever been in his position regards buy back !!
As you say Tough decision. But I love it But I always fear other bastards on the road though, as even simple tumble would write off paintwork (As you know insurance companies don't cover custom paint jobs) may also be a bit of cautiousness on my part also.

 

No time limit it seems - "JUST DONT SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE HE SAYS"
As for Dilli get what you see good advice, straight for the throat/ jugular. and no prisoners,- You have no idea how many threatening text's, death threats and letters I've had from him since mentioning I may sell my trailer

 

Correct Dougie less than 3k miles so good as if not better since I bought it.
No other bike in mind had dabbled with the idea of another trike,

FYI - Its only got 6.5K miles on it

 

Remind me what your own advice was

Ohh yes its all coming back to me
