Sold the F4 back in 2011 along with 5 other bikes to fund a new house purchase. I was cleaning out a closet and tried to sell some jackets. One of them was an original red/silver F4 jacket. Long story short, it didnt sell but the wife told me to put it on and her response was, 'Dont sell the jacket, get another MV!' Just when you think you got them figured out.....

Put a deposit on a 2005 red/silver F4 just like my old one. Its gonna take a few weeks to iron out shipping etc. But its nice to have a bike again!

Cheers,

Christian

Enjoy.

Waifu says to buy a bike instead of selling the jacket...

One in a million.

Congrats on the F4 purchase. Bet you can't wait to collect it and pick up where you left off all those years ago.

You know I'll take the credit for this for reneging on the jacket!!:smile2:

Welcome back and great wife you have there :smoking:

I too am slowly coming back after years apart from bikes.
I'm now starting to "resurrect" my 312R :f4:

Welcome back and great wife you have there

Mine passed her mod2 this morning! she's on her way home now to go out for a blast on her K****** Z650! Shame about the bike but pretty impressive for someone who had never ridden until September 2018.

Thanks all. At this point its a waiting game for the transport company. Buying a bike from a seller out in the sticks has its upsides and downsides.

Can understand that. We have it lucky in UK. Can hire a van and go from one end of the country AND BACK in less than a day!!:grin2: As mentioned long ago, I drove 6 hrs each way to Glasgow, Scotland to view mine before arranging a transporter. All worth it in the end!!:wink2:

Finally showed up today. Covered in dust from the transit in an enclosed trailer...go figure. 6 hours later of cleaning and swapping out after market parts, im wasted. Put a few miles on her and what a great feeling, like she never left. Dropped my 'goto' helmet helping the transport guy unload, so Ill be wearing my Rothmans Arai until I can get another daily helmet. My old Caberg modular was great, might snag another one.

This is the first time I have bought a bike unseen and was pleasantly surprised. Normal marks on the belly fairing, dirty as hell but cleaned up perfect. I spent the last couple weeks buying parts online to put it back to stock. Kinda felt bad pulling a perfect black carbon front fender off but found a NOS red one in Italy for cheap. Tomorrow ill strip off the Ago sticker kit and hopefully get it registered.

I owe you one Nigel!

 

[esq'z me]

We want to see it !!!

 

[lear60man]

Hot off the presses....




And this one is from the 'for sale' ad. Not bad but I could see things I needed to swap out change for my liking. She just needed a good scrubbing to look purdy again.



A small nick here and there but nothing I cant live without. Took her on another ride today, no issues. Got an oil change in the mail, getting some engine ice probably tomorrow if I dont pick up my new Africa Twin.
