Got me a 'Blade
Idle ebay browsing again and spotted a bike I recognised. Stage 2 of Operation "buy all the bikes I couldn't afford in the 90's" was set in motion. :D
Quick text "you selling your bike mate?" a few more alcohol fuelled texts, a quick trip to Glasgow a few days later and the deal was done (following some tense household negotiations). http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...16C2950E91.jpg http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...1833056DA5.jpg It's in great condition. Very standard as far as I can see apart from the Yoshi can, hugger, Scottoiler and rear rack. None of the garish anodised rubbish that often afflicts these bikes. It's hardly turned a wheel for the last few years so needs a good service, sticky brakes sorting etc but otherwise it looks like a belter. \\:D/ |
Re: Got me a 'Blade

Does the tense negotiations involve selling any of your other bikes? |

Re: Got me a 'Blade
Veeeerry nice. How much did it set you back?

Re: Got me a 'Blade
Booze and ebay! A very dangerous combination, been there myself.
Nice bike, interested to hear if you plan to keep it standard or give the Tam treatment? |

It's got 35,000 miles but the fuel tank and much of the plastics were replaced 5 or 6 years ago by the insurance after someone chucked paint stripper over it. My mate's hardly done any miles on it since (been on SORN for the last 3 years) so alot of the bodywork's pretty much mint condition. |

Fond memories but you forgotten how much she cost you. Nice |

I might get hold of an OEM can, return it to bone stock and put it in next year's local classic show. You get in for free if you show a bike :). It's still got all the original fasteners, which keeps the rivet counters happy. |
Re: Got me a 'Blade
Good price, considering the condition ie new plastics
Motors are pretty bullet proof aren't they |
