jerico Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 If you get a bike NEVER ride it over to Evil_Elvis's! Today riding to his, my front end slid out on a bend hitting some **** the dustman have dropped and then it went over outside his house. I've had the exhaust down-pipe shear from it's collar on my way over to his, in-fact in 6 and a half years of riding 80% of problems with my bike have been on my way to see him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Nice one Charlie - will ring you tomorrow. Mrs. Mungler goes mad at calls past the 10 p.m. watershed, whereafter calls had better be about someone dying else incur the wrath etc. Quick price check for the motorcycle boys - what's the damage on a: 1 owner from new Harley Sportster 1200 V Reg 2000 with 24k on the clock. Usual after market stuff like screaming eagle exhausts, some gay saddle bags and lady seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artful badger Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 i wouldnt touch a harley with someone elses, i cant see any reason to have one other than they have some shiny bits. unreliable, slow, dont go round corners. i could go on but i wont. i'd try a jap cruiser if thats what your into, they are bulletproof if it aint jap its **** as far as bikes go. i've got a suzuki rgv250 which is fast, and does go round corners very very well. though not for older more tired souls.

Evil Elvis Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 No Offence dude, the sportster is a cheap and nasty bottom of the range harley. its also very small, i have ridden one and it looked like a toy bike under me, and we are similar sizes.

Mungler Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nope, it was very cheap and I think I will be turning it - that is unless it's been on the floor or is stolen. The seller is moving back to the States - I thought, oh the old leaving the county chestnut here we go again. But on checking the sellers other auctions the whole of the contents of the house is on auction and with the bike comes everything else and a couple of hundred quids worth of bike chains and bits and bobs. Also on speaker to the seller - deffo a yank. You know how I love a billy bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) I have had a look around and with that kind of milage ( which is quite high by the way), you should be looking at £3500 maybe even less ( See- Milage) Is it the XL version Paul Edited January 10, 2008 by tulkyuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon0881 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Want a mid life crisis bike.....buy a KTM Duke II. Not the wildest motard you can buy, but it always works and you dont have to service it more often than putting petrol in it! Standard kit include very nice Brembo brakes and wheels and WP suspension front and rear. Ive tried several times to sell it and go back to a sports bike but i just cant. I have never had a bike that i have parked up and its attracted so much attention......plus its the same bike as the power rangers have......aparently.

Highlander Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) M don't you know that statistically more guys over the age of 50 die from bike accidents than die from heart attacks! and anyway overweight, old geezers look sad in skin tight leathers! And having seen the pic...have you a mexican upper lip hairy job and are you planning on joining the Village People?

Mungler Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Good job I am neither over 50 nor "tached" up. The picture cannot convey the fantastic noise the pipes on the bike make. I defy anyone not to want to drive it through a tunnel at high revs! Next project maybe a TVR (V8tastic) - alas, if only it was possible to buy one that would actually work everytime you wanted it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
