Pegscraper. Sorry about your bike. But glad you got sorted again. Yes i like the new bike as well. Joe.
It is a new bike. It"s the Goldline edition which is alimited run apparently. I'm really not that bothered with "special editions", I really wanted the same colour scheme as the old one but it's not available new anymore and there was no way I was buying a used one, plus, the dealer has said the SS is in short supply this year. They cannot get confirmation of any more so far this year, something to do with the silicone chip shortage also affecting numerous car manufacturers and other industries. Either way I wasn't prepared to wait months for a replacement. The colour has grown on me and looks great in the metal! The insurance came in with an offer well above what I was expecting and I got that increased with some haggling as well as getting to keep numerous parts and accessories from the old one.
Congrats on the new bike, Pegscraper! So glad you've finally got things sorted...and in relatively short order considering the current circumstances with supply chain "stuff" and availability. It must be a huge relief to have to have a bike again and be done with the mess of the theft. The bike looks terrific! Looking forward to more pics.
Well, as you Brits say - Jolly Good! Congrats. Glad it worked out to your satisfaction. Cool looking bike!
