Just like to say hello to the guy who bought the mint sp2 from mco in orrell yesterday!
you lucky git lol - very nice example. :d

was just asking if they'd take my cbx in part ex. you got that one by 5 mins lol.
picking up my storm on friday but when i saw this one i was tempted to leave it and go for the sp2 :D

hope it gets ridden and not just locked up in a garage!

from st helens originally m8 but have the misfortune of living in warrington for the last 10 years or so.
only good thing is i'm right on the m6 / 62 / 56 so it's good for work.

some nice roads on the outskirts but too many plod for my liking :p
have to meet up in the spring chap, get some miles in, see who's best at falling off lol! :D

mco seemed a bit pricey tbh, the sp2 in question was mint but 5 grand.
there's another in wigan yam for same price but thats a 2003 with 9k miles, few scratches on the tank.

just hope i won't kick myself for getting the storm and wish i's got the sp lol - not very often ive got a few grand to spare and can't justify having 3 bikes :D

Advantage for me is they are so local and dont mess about.

Did you get them to check group stock? They also own KJM, Preston Superbikes, Millenium in St H and Robinsons in Rochdale. If theydont have what you want, the other shops sometimes do.

You can always rely on Timbo for a laugh :clap: :clap:

no bud, was at mco browsing for a learner for birdie.
plan was to get her through her test then she can have my cbx.
the one ive got is from hunts in burnage mcr.
7200 miles in metallic gonnorhea.
bargain.
it's gone off their site now cos hopefully by now they've serviced it, put new tyres on and taxed it for friday :)
wasn't worth me collecting it earlier tbh cos of snow and being to fkin cold!

this one - http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 23&t=15443

i got this for birdie.

yes i know it's a bathtub but she liked the look (colour) of it.
it won't start, but i'm sure it will be crouton all.
collecting that one on monday.

*btw i'm up this late cos i can't fkin breathe with the snot virus.
medication's what y need.

What is that 125 thing? Is it one of them chinese jobs?
yes its a number 43 with ok sauce :D

2001 hyosung cruise 2 with a copy suzi gs125 engine that wont start.
got it for 112£ lol.
any bets on how long it takes to fix?
i reckon 2hrs tops ;)
dont expect it to set the road alight but it'll get her through the test(s)

mco rang me today to see if i wanted their other sp2 but tbh didnt get chance to check it out.
i'll get the storm and see how we get on.
dont mind spending 2-3k on a bike, but the rate i wreck them i dont fancy going to 5+ :silent:
