Yeah. You might want one of those if you buy it.

Sounds like an awesome deal though.

DO IT!!!

P.S. What goodies have you got in the garage?

[Dave20046]

Yeah just a bit! Forgot about that
I'm well tempted, really enjoyed my track day and wanna do many more but the main thing that held me back was trashing my road bike if I can have a lot of fun out of the bike and still get some money back when I'm done with it then I'll be happy. ahh the garage thing - it's dependant on this for two reasons: 1)space 2) cash. I need to sell my mini project car, grr

That's exactly my thinking... hence swapping the car for a bike! Cheaper as I won't need to insure it too. (well apart from the cost of all the track days but they'lll be worth it)

Just gotta get this bloody mini shifted.

Just looked at the one falc(?) on the forum's selling (1999) and it has normal forks - this one has upside down forks. Might have been retrofitted.

Quick scan on ebay and it's looking like the bikes probably worth about £1300 (although the ones on ebay look like dogs this is really good), so essentially getting a free trailer. This trailer's similar

600SRAD had right way uppies.
750 had upside down.

Same fork internals, different outers. 750 has 6 pots.

Buy the fackin thing! If the engine isn't knocking or owt it's a bargain.

That makes sense, yeah the calipers are standard six pots - but they looked enough
Not heard it run yet, will have a proper viewing and test ride when I have somewhere to put the ****er!
Ex instructor bike so hopefully that's a good thing as hopefully it will have had someone who knows about bikes in charge of it...but you never know.

1969 mini probably wouldn't like that either.

How far is the mini on?

Square one (ahead of where it was when I got it though).
All the body works done the shell is completely rust free and solid, stripped it down, etch primered the engine bay ready for the engine etc. renewed all engine mounts & bushes & that's it. Needs spraying (unless you want a ratty one) and everything putting back in. Tax exempt too
