**Say goodbye when you should.** I sold my Tracer 900 today. Bought it in 2015 when everyone kept getting fed up of my bike being broken. ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/b/8be692a590d3d3b768093c5ce28e82a6d4becb9e.jpeg) After several years and adventures, I stopped using it 2 years ago when I got my speed triple, but it sat languishing in the back of the garage, doing nothing but taking up space. Flogged it yesterday to a guy who’s going to export it to Albania. Should’ve done it 2 years ago. ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/c/fc2f21cec0d29d906f645918078eb0be58101d13.jpeg) Every single part on that bike was rusted, scuffed or broken. It’s a weird feeling, I never really gelled or fell in love with the bike, but made a lot of memories on it. Didn’t feel sad to let it go like I usually do. ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/0/80557f41262423840170d9f5ae9edaf77c0e8580.jpeg) ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/e/de74be3a703c8980d729ca02ea6a275233ab5bc3.jpeg) ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/8/88add886b1500188474d1bee0ab537cbeaa14c22.jpeg) ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/9/e9baba2616591e99f26282dc44d8288f2f5a5410.jpeg) ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/8/18b85c7030cce8c39c2e22a98c8bc15ef23103bf.jpeg) ![image](https://londonbikers.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/d/7d8aeb618dd13ffa51fae8fb933c87979eb5d0b9.jpeg) ---

That’s good advice for relationships that have run their course as well. A few of mine became way too rusty. ---

In both cases, no amount of WD40 would fix it ---

My speed triple is a great track bike for me. Don’t need anything more slippery or focussed than that.
