Settled on a 1971 rebuild (tax free, free from a shedload of legal requirements) with a big arse sprung saddle and 500 Bullet curved rear mudguard.

It's pretty much a completely new bike except for the frame, £3600.

Will collect after the 20th.

Nice one, and probably the best way to beat paying tax albeit a slow way

protoborg · 02-06-08, 14:42

Must pootle down and have a look in the flesh when you get it

katana · 02-06-08, 14:42

Gizza a go

Taipan · 02-06-08, 14:43

Top man.

Excellent

Will it run on veg oil or does it have to have diesel?

Anna Key · 02-06-08, 14:44

You can get diesel bikes

Got it from Royal Enfield Motorcycles - PricePart Motorcycles - Tel: 01454261941 - Email: henry@pricepartmotorcycles.co.uk

Basically they take old Indian Enfields, strip them, replace everything, mod the gearbox to take the Yanmar (Chang Fa or whatever) ditchpump motor, repaint everything then flog them.

Cheb, should run on pukka bio but reports (Google Salad oil bike) suggest that SVO isn't that good. Point is I can buy 500l of Bio, stuff the duty.

It'll only be light for as long as I'm on the outside

Not exactly Ninjas of the bike world.

Price Part Motorcycles at a guess.

I'm interested in how this works out too.

Getting the electric start?

No and Yes.

140 mile each way for a test ride so no, I'd rather take the plunge and learn to love it. Got the electric start, rather looking forward to the "Phwee phwee phwee phwee phwee phwee....cha cha cha chagga chagga chagga chagga chagga" every day
