It involves lots of complaining (by me), showing the MOF the cost of fixing said clunker compared to possible retail value (stuff all), and finally crying (trust me guys if you cried for your MOF she would give you anything
).So the MOF has agreed its time to let the clunker just die. Strip what parts I want off it and take the rest to the Motor recylers.
I kind of lost it when I was fitting the parts I’d ordered and the bolt for the speedo just spun around in the plastic when I tried to fit a Nyloc nut to it. Not only that but the cable for the speedo was the wrong one and wouldn’t fit. :angry:
But I really lost the plot when I put the new handbars on and realised that um the old ones weren’t that bent ..no….it was the WHOLE FRONT END of the bike that is bent!!
That was it for me. I was on the phone to the MOF in full stage three appeals (aka crying my eyes out)
So any suggestions of what I should and shouldnt salvage off it? Or does anyone think they want the engine (would make a seriously high powered go cart
)Oldgirl ….. This thread has me belly laughing…. And seriously not at your expense….i could so relate as i would have so done all the same things as well as hiitting below the waist line and said no more ‘special’ moments until I got a new bike. Works every time.Ha Ha.
What ever you end up doing…. Do it quick cause I want to go riding with you again soon…..you are one cool chic.

Hey Oldgirl
Dude is right
You could be very surprised at what people will pay. :whistle:
We have just sold a little bike that didn’t run for a good price. Must admitt I was surprised as I was only going to take it to work and put it in the scrap metal bin. :ohmy:
Cheers
MurphP.S. Nice avator Dude. Looks a lot like our last ride.
