A bit of space in the garage
Posted: Sat Aug 10, 2013 4:05 pm
Excellent and unexpected - I've now got a little bit of space in the garage so I might be able to start working on the CB125 and CB400.
Some of you might remember that more than 6 years ago we acquired an Aprilia sonic scooter for my youngest lad, Joe. (pics etc here: https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.php?t=1268)
Well it's been occupying space in my garage on a SORN for the past 2 and a half years.
Today Joe got a call from someone he used to work with wanting to buy it ... so we got it out, cleaned it off, started it up (yes it started without any real bother despite a flat battery - the benefits of a kick-start), checked it over and off it went in the back of Joe's van.
We felt we couldn't accept what the chap wanted to offer so talked him down to 75% of what he was offering ..... Joe ending up with rather more than we'd have expected if we'd had a bit of a fettle then MOTd it and sold it.
So, Joe's happy and I'm happy to have a bit of space in my garage.
Might as well have a drink to celebrate.
Bar's open!
