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.
