    Ouch, not wanting to be a dooms day profit but not good, may mean some time on the bench and dirt bike riding with buddies only.

    One of the downers of doing something as much fun as motorcycling

    ...I'm feeling really guilty about my XLV 750...it has been at the back of my shed for some time...it was rolled in there with a warrant and running well about five years back, then lots of shit happened...a new bike for the road, an escalated commitment of time to our club, amongst other things...I never pulled it out again...reg on hold etc...I moved some stuff recently and saw her again and realised that I am holding onto a neat machine that somebody else should be riding...since sitting the front brake has seized and it would need some TLC to get her back out on the trail//road...Im outside of Chch and if anyone was interested I would let them have it for a song...dollar a cc or something along those lines...

    That's very tempting, even at this distance.

    How standard is it? and what year?
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    ...Boys Light Up, for you dino3310...my band...no harp player now...too fukn noisy...




    ...well I've had four people express interest and as I dont want a SBW type of dilemma going on in my head...'cos it would be every bit as bad as his dithering, I will PM the two who posted here and the two PM's i received with a photo and the lowdown on her...if someone is interested enough to want what is probably a very easy to get back on the road ADV bike, it's theirs...

    Always liked the look of these...

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-652386387.htm

    Continentals on these and it would look bloody sexy
    Remember riding with a bloke, we parked up, he put the sidestand down and the bike just crept down the road...
    A great review can be found here
