    IMG_20200419_141524.jpg Evening ladies and gents,
    Welsh (can you guess?), 24yrs in the Army and now settled in Manchester. Ridden bikes for 40 yrs and now riding a 2014 Explorer 1200. It's been a great bike but now I'm desperately looking for 1700cc of badness in the form of a Thunderbird Storm (shout if you know of one for sale!) Glad to be here!

    Welcome to the family. Do show the inmates the steed before you get the storm. Just hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show us all the beastie as here in the asylum we love bikes.

    Hi, I've spoken to the guys with the one for 7.8k but they gave me an awful px price for my Explorer. They have a similar, higher mileage bike and were asking 2k more than they would offer for mine!

    Oh, I sold my 02 RSV Mille for the Explorer too. Similar taste it would seem :D

    Welcome in Taff, great choice in the bike your after, As you say normally find a decent priced bike is followed up with a low part ex price offered.
    Good luck take your time marra, find one you know is good for you.
