Oh no, oh please no, not in midwinter
|
Ebay item 120070899083
I want this. It looks superb. And I can get a one-way flight up there
|
[snip]
Do you really want it or is this rose tinted glasses? Only asking
because a friend let me try his and it was horrible.
|
I had one and liked it. Not wildly fast, but an incredibly tough
engine. Electronic ignition too, which was definitely rare back then.
Surprisingly torquey and economical.
Vibrated a bit......
|
|
for about =A370 from Gatwick and then ride it down.
|
does look pretty tidy.
you're mad, you know that?
|
Not that mad, as it turned out.
|
|
|
Very nice. I never really liked the GT twins, but that is quite good. It=20
does need the wheels rebuilding with stainless spokes, but that's no big=20
job.
|
But in mid-January? Oh lordy, lordy.
|
It'll be fine. It's just a bit wet up here just now, the hills aren't
white yet.
|
I have a feeling that this is going to sell cheaply, simply because of
where it is and the time of year.
I suppose if the journey home turns into Winter Hell, I can stop at the
Black Horse or somewhere....
|
Excellent.. those sound nice with spannies on. :) It'll cost you a fair
amount in petrol / oil to get that down too, it would be cheaper to hire
a van when you got up there.
|
|
We're halfway down if you get stuck in a blizzard :-)
|
|
Currently at £700, which is rather expensive for an old Jap bike.
|
Rubbish, it's far too much to pay for some old Brit knackers maybe.
|
Well, left it in the end. Just too much hassle without T&T. If it had
had T&T I'd have bid. Someone got a decent GT for not much money there.
|
Well probably find out when they post here, asking for a few parts that
have been unobtainable for the past 25 years.
|
|
I never really understand "won't need any work for an MOT", and not
bothering to put a test on it. It puts people off.
If it's a roadworthy bike, you can sort the tax if you have the MOT and
other docs, or you can do a deal with the seller to put tax on it as part of
the deal.

If you happen to be passing you're welcome to drop in for a cuppa &
chance to warm up - you'd be about 120 miles into your 500(ish) mile
run.
|
|
Ah bollox. Just noticed no t&t. Hm. It's a helluva long way to tow a
trailer.
