Re: if only I had a few quid!

Re: if only I had a few quid!
you could make one decent bike from the two, and sell the rest of the parts, probably get your money back aswell, but you have to factor in the time and costs involved, because an average condition late 90's storm is only worth about a grand at this time of year.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Gutting that, the Hound has cost me all of that so far with more to spend yet!! (Mind you, it is black so much more desirable.....)
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Re: if only I had a few quid!
if only I had the space, I'd make one very average bike and sell it for £800/900, then I'd have
1x ohlins shock
1x wp rear shock
remus hi levels
blue exhausts
wavy discs
wp worked front forks
spare bodywork
24k engine and loads of spares
just wish I had a garage or secure lockup....

Re: if only I had a few quid!
Gutted I bid £1,500 for them but someone obviously wanted them more than me.
I was after the shocks then sell bikes on to get my money back

Re: if only I had a few quid!
I wonder who got them, a good buy they were, I would have paid more if I had the time and space to do them up properly but I have 3 & a bit at the moment
