Erk. Another SOB purchase

Looks like a decent deal, though.

Dodger - are you still interested in the Benly?

 

My first bike in 1985 was a 1981 DT100 - I lusted after the 175 but
couldn't afford to insure one at the time.

What a lovely bike. I owned one of those straight after I passed my
test and in my opinion the are a superb bike. When I was looking
for a bike last year I looked at getting another DT MX. She looks good
and will complement your DT50 well.

taz.

 

A friend had one - might still have it, in bits, actually.

IMHO it was about the best under-250cc dirt bike of the 1970s. Same size
as a 125, with a bigger lump, and a cracking chassis.

I had a couple of complete gasket sets for one, actually - sold them a
few weeks ago. Ho hum.

Not until I've got space - I shall have to attack the TS250 with
spanners.

What happened to your other prospective purchase?

It was a total crock of shit. Not even worth breaking.

 

There was this "Bill" guy (I think) who was paging you re the Benly on
ukrm...

 

I missed that. Oh well.

 

YGM.

 

Is a Benly something you'd consider as a progression of sorts from a CG
then?

I only ask, as I quite enjoyed riding the CG, and have suggested me and the
mate concerned, when he gets his full licence sorted, do some sort of plod
round France on bikes that we really shouldn't. :-D

Plus it would be nice to have a reasonable SOB for winter, so I don't have
to trash the Fazer or anything that replaces it, before then.

 

Erm, well, yes, insofar as it's torquier and slightly faster (80mph flat
out).

I actually think this one's too nice to use as a winter hack. See

That looks bloody nice, actually.

Sir wants to get that through an MOT... will aide in its sale, no end, will
that.

 

It has an MoT, which expires next week, and will be renewed.
