    The above Nordie went on Ebay for £670 (albeit with a gearbox fault
    which may have been just a dodgy selector).

    So my pair of currently not MoT'd Nordwests are clearly worth very
    little, particularly given the coolant pressurisation problem on the
    tuned 604. CBA to sort either of them, and I need the room, as I want to
    reinstate the 2C/375 Morini this winter and probably prepare the faux
    WR250 Yamaha for senile hillclimb duties. My mate I went to the Manx
    with has also foolishly shown an interest in borrowing one of the GFRs
    to either go to the Manx on next year (we fancy 125s harrying SOBs on
    the way down the mountain) or us doing the Trofeo Rosso on them. A bit
    of TLC is needed on #1, so the Nordwests have to go.

    Still interested, or shall I Nige them out as 'projects'? I reckon it
    will be a better bet to offer them separately, and also sell the
    complete set of bodywork via another auction.

    Email for full details.

    WUN is currently out of the Nothern hemisphere, and if only replying
    courtesy of free hotel wi-fi, and a brief gap between meals.

    Based on what Mrs WUN has spent this week, I'd suggest that Nigeing is
    the way to go.

    Thanks for the offer, though.

    go and talk to the Catholics.

    No problem. Another UKRMer is mildly interested so I'll send them more
    details.

    Ah. Does this mean you won't be at home for me to collect bits of
    motorbike on Sunday evening?

    No, should be back by then.

    Damn it.

    It's in a Jiffy envelope and it originated from Z.

    Bring the biggest truck you got, boy.

    Just a jiffy, I'll measure it.

    Eight by twelve, in the old money that we understand.

    I can see why you're oopsing, sausage fingers - but while you're here, I
    have a UR package for you, too, also from Z - who, in this case, is far
    from dead. Don't suppose you're OSMing? If not, perhaps I can pass it
    on to someone from your neck of the woods - if any Lahndahn boys turn
    up.

    I'm undecided on that one.
    who knows? Unless I've misunderstood, isn't Lozzo doing the same
    trackday at Snetterton that I am on the 14th?

    Release early. Release often. Probably.

    Closer to the former than the latter, I understand.
