Sorry to hear of your loss, the emotional attachment that you have had with her will never leave you and memories will come flooding back each time you hear the roar of an engine!
Unless someone is placed in a similar situation they will never understand the satisfaction of owning and being able to admire a large beast like that!
She was still giving you pleasure by letting you hold on to a part of your youth, it’s equally satisfying for you to know that she’s went to a good home and is now in the hands of someone who will care for her and can handle 200 kg in a way that the prowess of a distinguished gentleman denies!
But look on the bright side!
At least you can now lie on a pool table when old age catches up with you!
