Cheap road worthy
« on: 23 May 2016, 11:29:32 am »
After Fazercat got nicked I'm looking for either a bike to borrow, or something cheap but with mot.
I'm not overly pissed about the Fazercat tbh- it's just a bike, however it's put me in a position of not being able to work, that's the more annoying side to it all!
So, if someone has something lying around, let me know!

Cheers guys, although appropriate there's a couple of issues- distance (OK not a massive problem) and by ASAP I mean yesterday lol.
I followed up a couple of leads and now I'm waiting to be picked up to go see a thundercat, it's a tad overpriced for mileage but it's from a dealer so added bonus of warranty etc, fingers crossed it'll be OK!

Yeah, thundercat, £1500 from a shop, 38k, 3 month warranty, took it for a test ride and the clutch/gearbox/engine sounded sweet and ran like new!
New tires, new chain and sprockets, new front brake pads, after a day I'm pretty happy with the purchase, although I also spent £120 on a disc lock and I'm going to also get the almax chain with squire lock soonish, oh, and I rode the bike up the towpath and it's parked next to the boat!
