Second chance (or Bike for only £20)

Nope, I'm not promising untold wealth, sexual success or anything else
that is likley to enhance your poor sorry existance.

What I am offering to the first person to reply here is the chance to own
a classic. A bike of such reputation that it beggers belief. A bike which
will make you the envy of all other ukrmers and immediately have small
children running to you like you just bought the local sweet shop.[1]

Yep, After splashing out on the Guzzi the infamous UKRM CB250RSA is up
for grabs. It comes with a plethora of spares including a couple of
frames, seats, wheels, forks, engine(in bits) and loads more!

Condition is running although quite rattly. Electrics all work although
the battery has seen its best days. Its no MOT but is SORN'd.

It is located in East Lancashire and will need a trailer/van(transit
sized) to pick it and all its bits up.

Price is the usual £20 donation to Riders for Health.

Now careful in the rush, I don't want anyone getting injured.

**** off then

 

It looks fine to me. If I had a trailer and lived anywhere near East
Lancashire (I'm 300 miles away) I'd take it off of your hands.

Why is this bike infamous?

 

Its had more ukrmers than you could hope to manage at teh BOSM

 

It's had more UKRMers than... one of the ladies of this parish.

 

So it could be worse...

Are you sure?

You haven't seen it for real, have you? Let me put it this way; When I
used to take it for the yearly MOT, my examiner wouldn't touch it. He
used to make me do the MOT while he observed, in case he caught Weil's
disease from it.

 

I only know the design from putting in the model on Google Groups.

 

Mwahahaha. It's nothing like any pictures you've seen on the web...

In uk.rec.motorcycles, DoetNietComputeren belched forth and ejected the
following:

I can honestly say I'm surprised, nay, staggered, that it passed /any/
MOT!

It passed three of them in my hands, two of them with the left footrest
hanger swaying about in the breeze where the forward frame mounting had
rusted away.

If you'd been parked and the bike slipped backwards, the footrest hanger
would move clockwise. You could select first gear, then the gearchange
would foul its own mechanism and jam the gearchange solid when you went
for second. It only took a few kicks and fucks to get it to work again.

 

Do you take it on a tour of Chernobyl?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo belched forth and ejected the following:

That's the bit I was thinking of.

 

He simply owned it. DFWAS.

Again, I think we'd better stop right here.

 

If you can't be good be careful.
