Owning an old car is like being someone's 9th husband.
Everyone else has fucked around with them & half wrecked them, they take all your money, & aren't that good a ride.

Hard case, I didn't realise I had just described sidecars minus the opinions egos & bad attitudes.

The foot rests directly below the seat and the long reach to the bars put an unnatural and uncomfortable bend in my back.

Reminds me of the local chip shop that still advertises second place in the 1995 best chip competition.

I've seen a guy joining on a ride with tyre shines on. Mind you, he was also wearing colour matching leathers and stickers all over his supersport bike.

As for the listing photos go, that Ducati guy did put some effort. Not bad. Will give 8/10

If you go low mileage collectable the non std pipes hurt it.

Was it not an auction before?
A mate had some drama trying to unload one of those to a disinterested market.

In fact he did a whole lot better selling his TZ250 which featured here a year or so back.
