Over the years I've owned about 10 bikes mostly old beaters but I have never owned a new one, that's about to change.My Wife finally convinced me to splurge out and buy a new one as a retirement present for myself so what to buy? A month back I tried out a 1400, that was nice to ride but just too heavy and expensive, the Stelvio is too tall and again too heavy.For quite a while I was in favour of the new V85, the picture someone took of me sitting on the one at Vancouver show somehow ended up as my screen saver.I was quite sold on a V9 Roamer since riding Kiwi Kev's earlier this year, he accused me of not wanting to give it back, its a lovely bike that runs on the smell of an oily rag and not one you will trip over every time you are out which really appeals to me. So when a V9 Roamer turned up at the local dealer I went and took a look with the intention of slapping down a deposit, it was one identical in every detail to Kevin’s, The Sales manager must have thought I was a bit crazy when I didn't take it for a spin, i just didn't get the "I have to buy this bike" feeling so I asked for a written quote with the intention of making the deal next day. Just as an afterthought I said why not add a V7 onto the quote so he added a V7 Stone and a V7 Special still in a crate. Later on that evening when I started weighing up the options I was swayed by the extra fuel capacity and I noticed the Special has a Tach which I see many owners wish for and spoked wheels. Of course the wheels will be tubed but that's never stopped me before, something I can convert later. To cut to the chase I told them the one in the crate is mine.Now I just have to wait for them to uncrate it, I asked if I could be in attendance, what are my chances do you think?
