Impulse Buying

[sArA]

Do you ever buy something on the spur of the moment that just had to be bought?

I just bought this off Ebay.... :rolleyes: Ain't it pretty though?

Didn't you already buy a bike a few weeks ago? :unsure:

And to answer the questions, no and no.

Had to do quite a bit of work on it, but its sorted now.


I was only saying to Jonno the other day that I like a Z750 that lives near me...its almost like providences little sister! :lol:

So much nicer looking and a better bike all round.

No..no not really. :huh:

[Rip The Jacker]

No money = No impulse buying for me... :(

Nice bike...

[JPaul]

I impulse purchased a new car on Monday. When I say new I mean out of the wrapper, brand new.

Went in to price a service on me current car, asked the chap what he would give me on mine as a trade in. Asked if there were any offers on the go and got a deal I fancied.

To be honest I didn't sign the order till Tuesday, but the deal was already done in principal on the Monday evening.

[Gripper]

I'm on medication for my impulse's:)

[clocker]

Jeez Sara.

I applaud your impulsiveness.
Also your luck.

Imagine the odds of being present when the Time Warp opened and a 40 year old bike drops out.

Astronomical, I'd wager.

[sArA]

Its a 1978 bike actually......not quite 40 years old yet.

@ J2k4....no silly, they don't make em like they used to which is why I bought it!

@ JPaul...Bloody hell, I thought I was impulsive but you beat me....soooooo what ya bought then?

@ Busyman.....:raspberry: Some people have no taste and it aint me :snooty:

I'm not knocking your buy though even if it's an ugly one.

I mean you can't beat that. That bike was a steal at 10 pounds.

....well....now that I think of it....you might have overpaid...just a tad. :unsure:

[Guillaume]

Some people have no taste and it aint me :snooty:
Come on, you got an american guy and a french guy to agree. :01: Face it, your bike's ugly.
BTW you forgot an apostrophe in "ain't".

RHD obviousement.

We've got the big car so I like a wee (cheap to run) one for going to work and nicking about in.

I got the metallic black, with CD

[DarthInsinuate]

i'm surprised it wasn't Extreme spelt with 'X'

are you considering putting a big spoiler on that, some chrome hubs perhaps, and some nice neon lights under it?

:lol:

No, but number 2 son (17), currently taking lessons, is considering it.

If he wants to pay for it he can do what he wants.

@ J2k4....no silly, they don't make em like they used to which is why I bought it!

Sorry, but I knew that; even the year... :D

Got a speeding ticket on it, too; couldn't believe it, either-the copper wheeled up right behind me, lights out, after dark, then let everything go at once-fuckin' near blew me off the road.

Unlike my uncouth American counterpart, Busyman, I'll go so far as to say that, while the bike is of a somewhat indeterminate aesthetic value, I'm quite sure it will look splendid with you aboard, Sara. :)

Happy mileage-making, and if that man gets jealous, toss him the keys and tell him to fetch some milk for the children, double-quick. ;)

Land rover, or was it Range Rover?

I am not unclothed. I wear clothing sometimes. :snooty:

Sara does look foxy and will look good on the bike. However, it doesn't change the CaptainObvious fact that she should enter dirt bike races on the thing. :dry:

Irregardless to it's aesthetics, it is not indetermiditabibale. It be oogly and it's image on this board is against board rules. :sick:

You are soooo mean...:cry:

Land Rover Discovery 4L V8i. She's a feckin' beast.

We try for 12 mpg, but don't always manage it, hey-ho, what you gonna do.

You can't squeeze better than 12mpg out of 4 litres?

Ludicrous.

Hell, we have to use something on the order of 6 litres with full-time 4WD to do that poorly... :huh:

[vidcc]

Nah, just kiddin' with you, bit of hyperbole old bean.

The 4wd is always on, but the real figures are more like 16 urban and 18 elsewhere. Can get a bit more on long motorway drives.

Anyhoo the wee one averages over 40mpg, which is nice. I've got a similar one just now and like it a lot. Just getting a new, better model. There are good deals just now coz' they are bringing out a newer shape.
