Talked seriously with Beloved tonight( local pub 2 glasses of wine for her) and I now have an unreserved agreement to get rid of the Thunderbird LT and buy another TBA.
In fact she's enthusiastic about it......can't see why I ever sold the last one and definitely prefers pillion on the TBA.
As you chaps might say " yeeHarr" ..or something similar.
So now I wait till the Tbird engine is rebuilt and then it goes up for sale.
I know I'll take a big loss, but that is nowhere near as important as being back where I belong.
Patience, Al....soon.

Hallelujah! You seen the light!

I must say I'd like to give a T-bird a whirl but they seem a handful for a bloke like me, especially with my bung leg.

As yet, nothings happened to the LT....however it is in the dealer having a complete top end rebuild.... at 3500 miles!.......and I know I will never trust it again and would be forever listening to its many rattles wondering what's coming next......it seems to me to be an unhappy engine if ever there was one... and I suspect it was underdeveloped before being rushed to market.
In any event I just never warmed to it and that's that.... plus it weighs an absolute ton...even compared with the road king that a friend runs.
Nope, its back to the fold for this particular sheep.
