MAYBE WANTED: Cheap bike

[ChristoT]

With the head gasket on my Peugeot dodgy, I'm tempted to cut and run: sell it as fast as possible, then replace it with a bike. This depends on cooperative parents on Friday though!!

Just to get a feel for the waters (as it were), has anyone got / know of a reliable, cheap 250cc+ bike up for sale?

[ChristoT]

so your gonna off load it on some poor unsuspecting foccer then run, bad form mate... i r disappoint

I'll also see how much the scrappy will offer me. But I need transport, have no money, and literally have my back to the wall. I don't like it either, but sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

And please don't hijack.

My mate was proud of his recent purchase of a 2005=55 Nissan Navaranew shape 4x4 truck,very smart it is ,only £4,500 +vat


Last week he met me to go rabbit shooting, he turned up in a hire van,,got out looking at my Toyota Hilux and said "them trucks are shit"   i ask why,,his has just cracked in half 


the chassis has cracked in HALF


it has a new MOT on it,,,so questions will be asked about it,,,also he paid with credit card so hopes the sale is guaranteed..




poor bugger

That's scary! 

Mine's not that bad, just suspected head gasket failure. But I can't afford to have it fixed, nor can I have it off the road long enough to fix myself, as I have neither the time nor the equipment.

Do you know, I'd forgotten about that?!? 

Once the carbs are on, all it needs is an end can, a check over by Deefer, and away I go! And I'll still have the bits to projectify it as I go!

Good call, Micky!

Just checked insurance on a standard Fazer: £265.

Looks like this is the way to go.
