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?

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.

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

....well....now that I think of it....you might have overpaid...just a tad. :unsure:
Come on, you got an american guy and a french guy to agree. :01: Face it, your bike's ugly.Quote:

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
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?

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

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. ;)
Just remind us what the BIG car is, again? :huh:Quote:

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:

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.
Impulsive Buying can also come under the headding of "MidLife-Crisis"...
Becareful, you might be come a bank robbing bikie...
*thinks thats what i wana be when i grow up* :shifty:
