Does this forum count? It's free and I have learned so much and saved myself a fortune by doing work myself instead of having to pay someone else to do it.

Did a straight swap of my '07 plate Tiger 1050 for my current '10 plate FZ1  8)  Happy bunny! :D
 
Also bought my first Fazer 600 for £2500 about 11 years ago, traded it in 18 months later and with nearly 30,000 extra miles on the clock. The salesman said he'd give me £2600 for it!  :D

1963 Triumph Thunderbird, passed my test in 97, my dad said what ever bike he had in the shed I could have, a great introduction into motorcycling, master one of those, and everything else seemed easy.

Won on EB few weeks ago..complete frame (in gold) with documents and valid MOT for 27.50 EUR. Swingarm, airbox and few racing bits  such as modded airbox cover, passenger R1 footpegs, swingarm spools, original crash protectors, were also included...sweet deal. Good start for new project:o)) Akrapovic 60mm exhaust downpipes for 100 GBP were on top of that (mentioned previously).
