It was Christmas 2001 and I had just taken a new job in Manchester and needed a cheap commuting bike as my CB500 was brand new then and I didn't want to risk getting it nicked.
My boyfriend bought me the SD as a love present and I have still got it now (and the boyfriend who is now my lawful wedded husband!)
Romance on the SD!

So it,s Friday the 16th July 1999 and I,d been aching to get a bike after around 8 years without one, I worked close to Chesterfield Motorcycle Centre when they were in Calow and had noticed they,d got a black early 250 SD in at £695 and very tidy too, the salesmam asked me if I was interested and I said yes, he also said that they,d got a CM250T coming in tomorrow , I always liked the look of those back in the day so said I,d pop round and have a look, so he took my number, the next day was glorious sunshine and I could,nt wait for the call, around 3 o'clock the the call came so I nipped up with a mate to have a look,it was,nt perfect but I really was smitten, a short test ride and £408 later ( yes £408) it was mine , owned that bike for 15 years before I sold it , it was tired and I sold it around 3 years back, I browse eBay and Gumtree waiting for it to show it,s face , I have seen it twice on Ebay but not for a while, Where are you NWF805X  ? Won't be long before you've got another CM in your stable I can see it coming , I'm loving mine (now I can go out on it ) it's a great bike  |
