The Earth is round. The Pope is Catholic. So count your blessings folks: miracles happen, but they are embraced with disaster and doom.

Can you believe that this Swedish-pearl, this Scandinavian-goddess, this battered-mistreated-forgotten piece of Mechanical and Enduro Art was sold yesterday, with only 3.450kms in its odometer and for just 1.500 euros, a mere one (1) minute before I arrived at that God-forsaken "crime-scene"?

THIS bike is absolutely original and complete, in a fully-neglected condition though, it kicks and fires, "rattles and hums" willingly and courageously, with that piece-of-a-rack at its back being for laughs and the money exchanged lost for desperate tears.

Why did I not "fight" to buy this motorcycle-of-our-dreams? 1st/ Because I have a heart-condition and my kidneys run easily dry, 2nd/ The 30ies-guy who came with cold-cash is sooo nice, that I'll be his "best-man" in his near-future wedding with the ex-proprietor's daughter and last but not least, I've had my fair share of Huskies' abusive orgasms in the past (70-80ies with my three WRs 390/500/400) and in the near present (2007-2009 with my 250 WR/510SMRs).

So I prefer to stop here, dig my storage-space for that battered-n'-waxed BELSTAFF Trialmaster and give it to its new owner. So he will hang it in his closet, right by this beauty of 1985/87/89 - only the Almighty can undestand and decipher these ScandinoItalian records - thrown back to slumber and decay again...

I've warned you! This civilization this era, these kids these owners aint' going forward: they buy to store, they acquire to adore and they're unfortunately-lucky, because they can't/don't/won't ride. And will not put this mud-starving two-wheel goddess through the rides and ordeals - we, old-timers put our past loved-ones...

And now, as Neil Diamond once sang: "Dry your eyes".
