boboneleg Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Been there , done that When I was flipping bikes I bought a CB125F with the crank gone, the lad didn't realise you had to put oil in the engine every so often Gave him £250 for the bike , got an engine off eBay for £250, fitted it and tided it up. Got £1100 for it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Have you ever thought about buying your daughter a Transit, @Saul? She could drive the CBF to places. Take a page from Six’s book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a page from Six’s book. No mate she is a biker. She was tracking the new front brake lever that was being delivered today, by the time the delivery driver was three stops away she had her full bike gear on waiting. As soon as I fitted the lever she was gone out after 8 days off the road. 108 miles later she was home knackered because she has work tomorrow. Me and the Mrs are referring to her as Shevel Knievel now. She has had the lecture several times and knows another claim means she will be off the rood as she will never get insurance again for several years. I hope for her sake it sinks in. Oh and I don't have a problem riding my bikes to where I want to go, don't need a van. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Here we go again. Shadows off the road. . To be fair it probably wasn’t her fault this time she just picked up a 50mm wood screw. The annoying thing is that it went through into the tyres sidewall making it unrepairable Also the front tyre is all but on the wear bar so better to do the set. Looking at around £130 for a set plus fitting. Rang the local guy who will see what he can get, Hopefully get the wheels done on Tuesday. Fecking bikes are keeping me poor. Just checked the odometer and she has done 12,000 miles since last October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
