Seller's remorse.

While it may be somewhat troublesome to live with a Bullet's issues, it is often found to be worse to live without its pleasures.
I predict you will buy another one at some point in the future.

It was a fine machine, and I almost bid on it. If I had the money available, she would have been mine!!!! I did take a few of the profile pictures you had on the auction to use as one of my rotating Enfield wallpapers. :)

Granted it would have been a stretch of a drive from down here in southern Georgia to pick her up, but would have been well worth it.
