Bar Open - Here's to Ebay

#1 Post by D-Rider » Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:12 pm

Quite a while since I've been this chuffed over an ebay item but I've just secured a bike-related item that I've been wanting for more than 30 years.
They hardly ever come up and the last one I saw went for several times what I won it for.

:smt003 :smt003 :smt038 :smt038 :smt026 :smt026 :smt041 :smt041


So - bar is open ..... and I'll even offer a mineral water to the forum Manc :smt003

pint of misery please - leeds are playing

and glad to hear you finally found that Aprilia Truss


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yes (all of my bikes other than the Falco have been Japanese)
