After almost 11 years of ownership, my SIIA has been sold!
Unlike all the other cars or bikes I've owned, I did my research on this one and it took almost five years of searching for a goodun! Not like my usual tactic of rushing into a purchase THEN realising what a complete DOG I had just bought!
I always name my cars or bikes after a song that fits with the vehicle, whether on the move or at rest, the truck was duly called 'Creeping Death' (from Metallica) and over the 11 years I had a whale of a time!
Unfortunately due to a change in job circumstances, a wife demanding something marginally more comfortable and a pair of mad dogs that would not stay in the back, it had to go.....
I now feel sad and empty and depressed and even though I'll be getting a bike for work I'm still going to miss that crazy old truck!
Am I a bit simple or merely sentimental at this loss? Am I alone in feeling like this or does anyone else want to share their sorry stories?
I'll leave the truck as my avatar for a while in rememberance but will have to sort a new one eventually.
