  1. Ebay item 4537043510

    Mine. All three of them.

    But if you look at them, and know your onions, you'll see it isn't a bad
    deal.....

    I used to love the yellow ones .. ;)

    It's not a bad deal at all, if you have some space, and some time .. or
    is that the bad deal bit ;)

  6. Nah, I've got a towbar on the Silver Tuddy now, and I reckon my 2/3 bike
    trailer can hack it.

  7. You should have seen The Doctor's face this evening.

    Me: "YES! I've won it!"

    Her: "Won what?"

    Me: "Oh, er, an Ebay auction...."

    Her (sighing): "What is it this time?"

    Me (proudly): "Three 400 Fours!"

    Her (aghast): "Three? Where are you going to put them?"

    Me: "Er, I'll find space...."

    Her: "Not in my shed! How much did you pay for them?"

    Me: "Six hundred quid, for all three."

    Her (mollified): "Oh, well, OK, then...."

    Oh, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on.

    It can't be as bad as Champ's.

    Oh *well* done.

    The photos were, of course, taken by Paul Carmichael's myopic clone, but
    I expect there's a *very* good reason for that.

    Hmm, that's not a bad deal at all.

    Thinks: once the NSR has been sold (plus the TS50 which is still on the
    patio leaking oil) there will potentially be space in the shed for a
    "project".

  13. Heh. Well, a brand new boxed complete Motad system is worth a ton of
    anybody's money, so that'll probably go on Ebay. Depends how good/bad
    the other exhausts are.

    I want to see I I can molish one working bike out of the three -
    everything else goes for auction, and I reckon it'll sell for
    comfortably more than I paid for all three bikes anyway.

    Ho yuss. If I do go down this route (it's a big if too), ideally I'd be
    looking for something complete but tatty.
