Title: Stoli's GSX1400 - SOLD - Fond Farewell
Post by: Stolichnaya on Monday, 30 July 2018, 05:10 PM
Hi Guys n Gals

A note to say that yesterday my GSX14 went off into the sunset with its new owner.  Quite a sad moment and I cannot deny feeling quite sick to my stomach.  I felt like I was going over a hump back bridge for about an hour... 
Still, new owners face lit up like mine when I 1st saw it so I know he's fallen head over heels.

So, its not bye-bye..  with your OK I would like to pop in from time to time to say hi and talk the usual rubbish I do...  I do still have a 14..  albeit a GTR14... 

I'd like to thank @ Barmy and @ Seth especially for input and help during the last few years and especially the last 6 months.  you guys are amazing. the help, advice and calming me down was brilliant as you know I was about to sledge hammer the old gal not long ago.

To the rest of you motley lot, ride safe and keep on keeping on...

Bar is open and im buying...
Stoli

Not a nice moment seeing a bike that you really want to keep going off with it's new owner..I don't know your reason for selling Stoli, but hopefully one day you might just get another one?

I think we all should go to the bar and buy you a drink or two to help ease the pain.

The new owner will be proud.......

Just complete lack of use Froudy.  my biking needs and wants have changed in the last 3 years and I Tour.  Ive Toured on the GSX and its OK but but not a Tourer in my sense of what I need.  I have a GTR14 and even that will be going in a year.  fabulous bike, but too easy to go too fast.  and its heavy.. 

its simply a case of what I want & need changing.

At the end of the day, you have to do what's right for you & Great to hear it's going to an appreciating buyer Stoli. And make sure you stay around here, because you are a funny bastard (that's a compliment by the way)
Now get me Sav Blanc. Please 👍
