No way to selling, park it up see what the doc comes back with, then decide. It might be a visual impetus to get you back on a bike (if thats still an option obviously). Whatever happens best of luck mate!

You already know the answer....BE POSITIVE and all will be fine and you will be back in the saddle in no time...

and as said 3 months without riding is 3 months of honeing the bike to be all it can be just like you will be after said opp :wink:

While down at RidersRest in mid France last week, there was a lot of talk about a huge amount of new & 2nd hand bikes leaving the UK for other European Countries due to bikes costing more abroad - what I'm saying is if you sell you might find it tricky replacing them at a later date.

I know from experience over the last year that it's difficult finding a brand new FJR :roll:

Yep there's lorry loads of sub 4k bikes heading east this year. Some of the dealers in the midlands have had 7.5tonne trucks rock up and leave with upto 10bikes loaded up and shipped off to poland

Going to be a shortage of decent used bikes in a year or so. Will be good for the big dealers selling new bikes but not good for our pockets
