No. 14

Post by MacV2 »

So tomorrow I will take delivery of a very poor unloved parked up for 10 years rusty VTR... It will be the 14th one I've had since 1996... ( Edit...WTF '96 ??? I mean 2006... I mean technicaly it is true I have had 14 in total since '96 but got my first one in 2006... I wish it was the drugs talking but I haven't had any...)

It makes it No.9 currently... From the pictures it looks a sorry rusty heap but @£300 + £137 delivery from Angelsy I see a proffit looming...

I may already have some bits pre dibbed but I will be posting in the normal sales page when I get it sorted & see whats salvageable...

N+1 Pah!

I used Shiply to get a quote for shipping... Angelsy to Kent... £137... The first quote I got was £301 tho... I think the company I used their first quote was over £200 but with a bit of haggling...

Shame it's yella... :lol: :lol:

So Rusty the Storm has been deliverd...

I may have just aquired a £437 boat anchor... 8O :o 8O :o :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bjeebus it's proper minging...

So the story is the guy bought it off ebay some 10 + years ago but as only 5' 2'' he decided it was too big & never really rode it, parked it up under a builders bag & left it to rot basicaly... He decide he needed to get something positive done as was feeling a bit low what with lockdown & what not so stuck it on FB for £400... I contaced him & said if no one bags it i'll give you £300 fot it... He came back quite quickly saying yes you can have it for that... He has since been back in touch & found some other bits, cover the postage & they are yours...

Deff needs a new front tyre...& you cant see the moss in this pic
Rusty 9.jpg
Rather bizarrely the guy who I bought it off didnt send the key with it, he's posting that onto me, which of course has not arrived today...

It's a good job I have a new can of Plus gas on the shelf... :lol: :lol:

Unfortunatly a previous owner has used cheap sh1t light ally Probolt bolts on the fairing & mud guard... These seize & round off really easily...Damm

So last taxed nearly 11 years ago... :lol: :lol:

Wish me luck...please wish me luck... :lol: :lol:

There are some other bits that came with it as well, which is nice...

Ha, you love it really.
In all fairness, I think you have a job on there, but again you the man for it and if any one can make some of it I am sure it will be you.
Best if luck

Feck me Macster you got a few weeks in the cave sorting that old girl out. But with Franks help I’m sure you will save it/ make a profit with it.
