Sounds just like something my hubby would say/do

Besides Fleabay - where is the best place to pick up CAT C/D bikes?

Local freeads and stuff like that. People put them in for spares or repair for stupidly low prices, just to get rid of them.

I'm thinking of some sort of 250cc crosser that i can get running, stick road tyres on and use for the winter. (I'd have a look myself but spooks is about to start)

Given a £100 budget what would you have??

Oh - here you go. Then you have £99 to spend on repairs

Almost worth buying those, and dumping them in the front garden to annoy the neighbours

You could probably find a mint Honda Hornet for that amount.
Whats that you say, they cost more than £100. Are you sure?

i'm sure you could come round and help carsick!!!

i think ebay might be the key here... in fairness i'm not expecting much and as an engineer i'd like to take the engine and completely strip it. Surely on single cylinder motorcross style bikes there are plenty of rebuild kits etc

the fun is in doing the work and playing with an engine!!

ebay's deffo the key.
My £80 car lasted a year without any work so don't see why a bike can't.

Spend the remaining £99 on beer as suggested by Sid Squid, it'll work out better than trying to resurrect that lot.

I like the look of that GS850

Must resist buying more crap old bikes, must resist buying more crap old bikes, must resist buying more crap old bikes.................

Are you going to give her £100 in return to buy herself something to ‘tinker’ with whilst you are messing about with the bike?!!?

I know someone with an old MZ250 that you can probably have for £30. They are in Farnborough, so not that far from Swindon

It was running a few years ago and has now just sat there since, so a straightforward resurrection
