Paging -TOG-

I have just this weekend found someone selling a Laverda 125LB UNO.

It has been sat in an Italian dealer for 15 years and has just 3 (yes,
three) miles on the clock.

It is completely original IFAICT, but it does start and runs well.

What do you reckon it's worth?

 

**** all.

A few hundred quid. Maybe 600-700. It's not like it's a Jota, and it's
not like you'll be able to get spares for it.

 

That's roughly what they wanted for it but the spares is something I
didn't think of![1]

Muchas Gracias.

[1]Thank gawd I never bought it.

 

Don't worry. Timo will.

 

He had a few Italian dirt bikes as well ;o)

 

Got any details?

 

Preston Kemp says...

Well, they're dirt bikes, and they were made in Italy.

Not much...

You are aware that the engine on this is a Zuendapp 2-smoke, for which
spares aren't that hard to get. At least not if you speaka Germanic.

Who would that be, just out of interest?

<sniffs bait>

Fekkoff.

Hmmmmmm. Nice TE610 to go with the SM610...

 

"Achtung! Mein Herr! Ich der ringy-dingy bits fur der Laverda
schtinkenwheelen is vanting."

'Gott in Himmel! Du der piss taking ist! Hier, Franz - ich another loony
habst!'

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Yeah, but then I get this reaction even if I don't want to buy Laverda
bits...

 

I'll email you if that's ok.

There's a bike in there I could be interested in haggling on and I'd
rather it was still there when I got back

 

Whinging Courier was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Sure - email addy in the headers is valid.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

Heh. It isn't the Laverda.

I was interested in that more out of "curiosity" value.

 

Bounced. Sender address rejected.

Does it not like Yahoo?

 

Whinging Courier was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Did you send it via the yahoo web interface or from your box with a
yahoo email addy, via your ISP?

My mail server tries to check if email from often forged domains like
hotmail and yahoo actually originate from there. If you send it via
your ISP's email server then it'll bounce.

That's about the only value it has.
