I've got a Daihatsu Charade 1986 currently warranted & registered and I want to swap it for a bike. It's a great little runner and costs next to nothing to run. No it is not a new car, but it is not full of rust and I haveen't had any problems getting a warrant for it. I can't post any pics coz I don't have a digi cam.

What am I after? A bike.:ride: Hopefully something physically large enough to carry me (6'4" and 120kgs) and easy enough for me to work (4 stroke) and something 250 or largerish.

I went out to "Pick a Part" not that long ago to replace the fuel pump and spent $100 on a full carb and pump, distributor set and a new door! I haven't replaced all the parts coz they didn't need it and I haven't changed the door lock over either but I still got the old door with the lock. I even used an icon from the list for the margin of this post....

PM me or post questions - either way stop me from caging it in this matchbox! (think of the size of it and the size of me - oh the humanity!!)

Nobody even feels sorry enough for me to offer me a bike for a few hundred bucks and tell me to shove the Charade? One that maybe needs a little fixing?

Treat me like Save the Children - I'll send you letters and tell you how I'm going to school so I can feed my family in the future and make a better life for myself.

Honestly i think it would be hard to find a person on a BIKER site to swap a BIKE for a CAGE!!!!! sell it on trade me or something u can usually find reasonable cheap bikes on there, and some of them are in really good condition i was just on there, there is some good stuff on there actually.

Wheelies? Nah this baby digs trenches! 0-100 in about 3 mins and 0-300 depends on whether you got a deep enough hole to chuck it in.

You know someone could just offer to sell me a bike for $500, that'd get the Charade off the site (which must be embarrasing for you guys - I have no standards)

You're not thinking creatively. Take the body off the chassis then cut off the left hand side and make your own bike! :scooter:

It is actually a warranted and registered and running car - with no rust! And that's better than can be said for some KBers!

All I'm hoping for is that someone will feel sorry for me and offer to sell me an old bike ($500 or less)

Hmmm they certainly bear thinking about... I've got an idea that if I can get a grand I can get something really good. It may take a couple of months but we'll see.
In the mean time the Charade stays where it is. Just coz Flash is in love with it :love: :love:

Ive got the 68 B1LA that I'd consider swapping, although its only a 125cc. I can think of someone who I'd like to give your cage to.
