Mamba is Gone... :(
That's it really, I am completely bereft and totally Denfenderless, but it has been such fun... :

Although Black, Mamba served me exceedingly well in the short year I have had it and never ever let me down, did not even have the customary Landy Leaks... Shocked

SWMBO made me swap some hard earned for a 13 year old Pug 206 because she will not let me have her Golf... Rolling with laughter

Never mind, ow I just have to be patient for a few short weeks while the excellent guys at UT work their magic on the Ven Green Special, currently 'In Build'... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
The GREEN One...

The loved and lost was a joke but it did remind me of the show about guys that loved their cars too much Laughing

Venomator I feel your pain being Defenderless at the moment. I sold my motorcycle week before last and I have not been without a motorcycle of some descript since I was 17. I am 54 this month! I even got caught looking wantedly at the tyre tracks my motorcycle left behind in the garage this week!

Laughing

I think SWMBO may be coming round to the idea of a replacement. Enjoy the new one when it arrives and plenty of photos please!

Thumbs Up Bow down If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Thanks Mal... Thumbs Up

Backatcha too, I had bikes until my mid fifties and when the final one went, my Harley, it was a painful wrench... Big Cry

But I got over it and eventually found true love in the World of Defenders... Thumbs Up

Getting excited now and impatient at the same time, and still have some final decisions and quandaries to make because the new Green one will not be a standard by any stretch... Whistle

I have been toying with starting a 'My Defender' thread as the base truck has hit the ground at UT and is 'In-Build' as of Monday... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
The GREEN One...

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Very ironical as you'll never guess what marque I'm now leaning towards? .....A 1200 Sportster 48 with naturally a few modifications. 'Parker Knoll on wheels.'

Awesome Mal... Thumbs Up

My choice, if I were to have it again, would have been a FatBoy, but that time is long past and I will pretend my new Greenie will be a pseudo Parker Knoll... Rolling with laughter

I do have some old Harley memorabilia knocking around somewhere, if you ever make the jump... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green
