[Grumpy]

Sometimes out of something annoying, a silver lining appears.
Last week the van I use for my business decided to fry the turbo!
The van was taken to the garage I use, local small business, run by a chap (Wayne) who is the type who knows everyone!
The conversion went like this:
Wayne- Did Ducati make a 900 monster?
Me - yes....why?
Wayne - a mate has one for sale...you interested?( Wayne knows I ride Italian bikes!)
Me-Might be......where is it, what condition is it in...and how much?
Wayne- knowing my mate it will be ok, its local and he wants x,000 for it.
Me- get him to call me and I will have a look at it.

2 days later the phone rang.
Friday I went and looked at the bike and bought it on sight!
