Towbar on the 230 in case the "veteran" car gets stuck?

Or the other way around?

Damn, 1163 views!
Alot of people like looking at my bike

but looking is all they will do because I pick it up on Friday.
Maybe a trip home via Rainbow would be appropriate.

Hey Motu - is this your old bike?

**Tazz** · 11th November 2014, 13:51

Hoping to paint mine like that if I ever have any money to do anything with it

Was supposed to be rocking around on it last summer.

Price seems a bit optimistic I would have thought?

Since you mentioned the condition of yours I was going to flick you a message when I saw that, but 3 mins later I saw on the adv page thing you were going to look at it anyway
