£200. Who wants it?

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Whinging Courier, Nov 18, 2003.

  1. My Shite Old Bandit.

    The bike shop don't know where it is so it could be in Ruislip,
    Middlesex or Pentonville Rd, N1

    I've been buggered about more than a few times over this so it's going
    for the price of £200. Worst case senario is that it needs a new engine
    - the crankcase has got a hole in it (apparantly) or if I hadn't lost my
    licence i'd bodge it up with some chemical metal and a bit of alloy
    welding and get back on it myself.

    It's absolutely filty but ran perfectly until i slid it down the road. A
    great winter hack for someone or it's going for spares, either way i
    don't really give a toss, I just want shot of it.

    Don't be asking me loads of stupid questions, it was a despatch bike and
    in that respect it was lovingly abused but was a bloody good workhorse,
    and it never let me down.

    If you want a nice clean shiny bike don't bother, I say again, this bike
    was despatched. It's got 2 months MOT left and tax till the end of
    April.

    Located in NW London.

    Thank you. It's not for me, I have a friend who's looking for a winter
    hack, and it's ideal for that porpoise.

    I very nearly bought this myself but found something else. I spoke to
    the mechanic where the bike is stored and he confirmed there ain't much
    needed to get it back on the road.

    Well, since I possess said trailer ATM, it'd make sense to stick this
    POS on it when I bring it back up to Bedford, wouldn't it ! ;-)

    Assuming you can locate it ...

    Let me know,

    Cheers,

    No probs, need to repay the favour somehow in any case.

    Anyway, I have a pair of dead CB250 Carbs for you to fettle ;-)))

    I only extrapolated from your own description :))

    Where do I have to go anyway ? - Send me and Loz an email.

    It's a Bandit.

    It's been despatched.

    It's bust.

    Not much extrapolation required, really.
    That would be a sound move.

    Heh, it's not *that* bad! Just not like a new bike :)
    OK, AFAIK, it's in Ruislip, I'll phone them tomorrow and get a proper
    location. Apparantly someone went to look at it before but I wasn't
    aware of this so maybe you could ask them. Doc Gower?

    I'm off out for the weekend in a minute. I'll send an email to Lozzo as
    his address is easier to remember. He's got my mobile number should he
    need to ring.

    As soon as I have the details you'll be the first to know :eek:)
