I'm thinking of getting shot of the Rat. I did want to bring it over to France, but I just can't seem to find the time. Now. Although it's a non runner and there are no electrics, the tyres are good (even if they are made in China and the engine would be okay as a spare if it was stripped down and rebuilt. AFAIK the pipes are okay, apart from surface rust. Would I be daft in asking a few quid for it on ebay? http://rosbif.free.fr/rat I'm on the lookout for something around the 600cc [1] mark for about 500 quid in France, so that I can get my hands dirty again and do a rebuild. [1] I'd love to get an XJ650 again. That was my favourite bike, that was. -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e.

Get TOG to word the ad for you and you'll be fine. He got something like 37 quid for his basket case C90 iirc.
Champ bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: I actually thought about that. TOG? -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e. GSX 1400 - 'Tarts Handbag' (tm) Bike, dead 550/4 Rat UKRMMA#10 (KoTL), IbW#015, Bob#4, POTM#3 email addy : cab_at_ukrm_dot_org
Christ, you really don't read anything here do you. Four threads up he announced he's just gone on hols.
Champ bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: I'm not being very thorough today. Too bloody busy after being away mesel'. Maybe he'll be lurking or see this just before he shoots out of the door. It can wait anyway. -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e.

Cammo bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: Make me an offer. BTW, you'll have to pick her up, as she's got no electrics. Near Milton Keynes. ^^ That's fucked.

sweller bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: '76, near Milton Keynes. I'd rather you make me an offer, as I don't want to get laughed at.

Domhnec bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: Err, I could possibly do a bit better than that. My BiL could pick it up and ride her to Zaragoza (or Jaca) and then pop over the boarder to France for me. How much? <followed up by email too> -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e.

It is. You tell me. -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e. GSX 1400 - 'Tarts Handbag' (tm) Bike, dead 550/4 Rat UKRMMA#10 (KoTL), IbW#015, Bob#4, POTM#3 email addy : cab_dot_ukrm_at_rosbif_dot_org
Like I told you before - you wannit in France, you cover the costs, we'll bring it over. We're 15 miles from MK, easy job. Email me.
BiL? brother in law? I asked for details to the former owner, he said that a) Current owner is selling it, price to be asked. b) It is actually an XJ600, no cardan, chain. (e-mail received)
Pip bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: I hadn't forgotten Pip, cheers. But tbh, it's not worth the cost in getting you to bring it over. Plus SWMBO wouldn't go for it [1]. So I thought that it'd be easier to buy a SOB over here and play with it. [1] This is the, er, hardest point to overcome. -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e.
