I'm going to work in Singapore and there's absolutely no chance of keeping the bike, so, here goes. I'm selling the bike, throwovers, paddock stand, etc as I'll be bikeless for a while and I might as well sell the lot. Not sure of value. I think it's circa £2,000 but hopefully TOG or SWK will chip in. I'm located near Oxford.

It rained a lot, Okay? Actually, I agree. I should have used it more. Now I'm just getting depressed. Should I pop out for a last hoon right now or paint the house? Decisions, decisions.
Sounds like a lot of bike for not a lot of money. -- jeremy '01 Triumph Sprint ST in green _______________________________________ jeremy0505 at gmail.com
S'ok. I have similar sets of MOT certificates. I know the feeling. At least I'm commuting on the bike a bit more these days so next year's MOT might have a different first digit on the mileage[1] [1] Actually, probably two seeing as it's 29xxx at the moment.
Hiya. With wife in tow (toe?), the correct answer can only be No. As Darcy observed, I may be into 'bamboo' but I have my grove picked out. Returning to ukrm after so long is very nostalgic actually, until I read that, while various people have gone and returned, everyone has the same views as xx years ago. It's a cultural time capsule. An Institution. It's what I imagine an addiction is like -- all or nothing. Except the endless hours spent achieving nothing was starting to impact my CV. Perhaps the regulars can say how they manage ukrm and normal stuff, like breathing?
Personally shocking, but you can't argue with the market. They were going for £4999 (in the ugly blue) for a short while. Someone is going to get a bargain IMHO.
Houses take much longer to sell than bikes. The house will still be there when you get back from your hoon. YKIMS. Regards, Ian
I only read it and post in the evening when I'm not busy. Ok, sometimes I scan in the morning before I leave for work but never whilst I'm working. Weekends often get wasted here when I've nothing better to do though.
