I had
one of these: farm1.static.flickr.com/74/161099722_2e91a78e53.jpg?v=0 (but in black)
Bought it many years ago for £50 from a local poacher.. he'd even left some dead rabbits in the boot for me. Cosmetically she was a wreck, but structurally sound as a bell, the engine was sweet and I loved her, despite the fact that the ignition key had snapped in the ignition and I had to start her up with a screwdriver.

Spent shedloads of money and time on her, stripped her all back to bare metal, replaced all the rusty bits with new, resprayed, got all new chrome bits, and sorted everything out. When she was finished she looked beautiful, went like shit off a shiny shovel and gripped the road like spunk to a blanket. She was my baby and I adored her.

Until one fateful day while I was at work when my ex swapped her for one of these: i167.photobucket.com/albums/u140/Poo4Boy/My%20Bikes/honda_cg125_1976_1.jpg . Not only a nasty little bike (we already had a GSXR 1100, why did we need this piece of shite Honda), but also a very very tatty and knackered nasty little bike.

He became my ex shortly after.

The strange thing was that he actually expected me to be pleased.

Christ on, if you'll excuse the pun, a bike
That is one of the worst swaps I have ever seen; it makes the time I swapped a Gyrados for two Arcanines look tame.

I had one of those!
Bought it near new, the hatchback version. Kept it for 16 years, you can't kill them with a stick. Eventually sold it to a colleague, he resprayed it, kept it another six years then gave it to his son-in-law. As far as I know it is still on the road.

Your ex was an idiot and probably still is.

I saw mine several years after he'd done the dirty deed down in Launceston in Cornwall - still running well.

Heartbreaking :(
