I couldn’t resist at that price, but you’re right it’s super slow silver at the moment as it won’t start. Image
I can fit bacon Image in the top box though Image

I can see why you couldn’t turn down the little Aprilia at that price Duffy :lol:
Fingers crossed that is all it needs, or at the very least not a lot more to get it going 🤞🤞

These 2 lads are my god children.

Great fun being on track with them, even if the eldest one ( guy Martin helmet) is already as fast as me and he is only 12!!

Spent most of the day in the cave, sorting some bits out for Flatline... His bike had a melt down needs a loom & an battery tray/rear mudguard & some other cables.

Then moved on to sorting Rothberg for it's MOT... As expected the battery was flat, charged it up...Press starter click click click at the relay DOH.

I have a new battery in stock so put that on, bastid thing still wont start.. :x

Fiddled around with various things, all fuses ok, changed the starter relay.

Finaly got it to start but running like a bag of shi*... Turns out the rear coil plug was loose...

Now it's back to not starting... :confused

Changed the rear coil & plug which was black & sooty...

Got it running, again but after a while it just cuts out... Seems like it's something getting hot & breaking down.

Boxed it back up, gave up for today, fag & coffee time...

I hope this one is an easier fix Mac🤞🤞

A bit of a shock when that happens from a 12 year old when you’re not expecting it :lol: :lol:

Don't know why you are surprised. They certainly look like children to me.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
