I still have a G/S rear subframe in the garage but thats about it.

Yep, couldn't resist for that sort of money. Hen's teeth and all that.

You suck Alex

in the nicest possible way of course. You have quite a collection going there now.

Going to sell the Basic now?

Something will have to give. But now I have options.........but no money :-) I might be turning into one of those sad old guys with a garage full of bikes that don't get ridden.

You called?

**Kokopelli** · 28th December 2011, 15:36

yep, done and dusted.

Hadn't seen your thread, Oscar, only saw this one this morning. Haven't bought a bike without looking at it before.

Me neither, although I did try to buy that real cheap G/S in Rotorua a few months ago.
Actually rode mine this morning.

The bike has a new WoF and 8 month rego. That's exactly 8 month more than my Basic has. I'll clean it up and and then look at my options. Something will have to go again, as there is too much that needs to be done around the house. Do you still enjoy riding yours?

I love riding it (although I must admit I don't expose it to gravel/offroad much).
Is it a PD? Was that odo reading correct?

That tank would look good on yer Basic.

Yes it is a PD, someone must have removed the stickers at some stage. I might grab the tank and the seat and send it on its way again. But it almost seems a shame to break it up. I'll get to see it tomorrow, but it will involve a ferry trip in the rain by the looks of it.

Glad you bought it Koko - I was sorely tempted - couldn't justify to myself though - enjoy

Thanks Aslan, I also struggle with that justification bit. Will I see you in Cromwell?

Oh, I could justify it to myself, no issue...But to Mandy? She would have blown a gasket.

Good buy there Koko. Don't rape & pillage the bike though. Bad Karma, there. Makes a nice compliment to Basil.

Sell the 1150 instead. Its alternator has been giving you grief anyway. Best punish it for that.
