A new excuse for building up bikes & bits stocks

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by The Older Gentleman, Oct 7, 2010.

  1. "I'm just buying it to put on my pitch at Kempton Park"

    The recent tally includes a nice pair of Krauser panniers, with keys and
    frames, and a *really* tidy low-mileage 1994 CBR600.

    Then there's the piles of bits stripped off the Kawasaki GT550 donor
    bike.... GT550 stuff tends to be dirt cheap because there's lots of it
    around, but some items, like the coils and ignition switch, fit other
    Kawas as well, and decent ignition switches and keys, and good sound
    coils, always sell.

    I had a sort-out in the garage and discovered boxes of stuff I'd
    forgotten I had. Someone must want a proper factory Moto Guzzi points
    adjusting tool, surely? And one of those special spanners for undoing
    the finned manifold clamps on airhead BMWs?

    And I've got four SOHC Honda tail lamps, for some reason....

    Nigel, I'll be taking the trailer to KP, which is always a bad idea,
    because it increases the chance of taking back more tut to the house
    than you started out with....

    Packer, are you in on this "Ukrm earns its Christmas booze money" event
    or not?

    In communiqué <1jq019i.10gf916fanuoN%>,
    There's a bike autojumble at the livestock market in Bridgnorth this
    Sunday.
    That's why I'm going on the GFR.

    If I can get a pass out i will text you.
    Mug of Tea, Bacon sarnie and talking Bollocks seems like a good idea
    to me.

    Need to bring the car as I need to buy some bikes for the kids at work
    to use on their Mechanics training module.

  4. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older
    My pile is getting bigger[1], so I may hitch up my (non-bike) trailer, I
    haven't decided yet.

    [1] And you, of all people, know what that's like...
