Just bought a project and I need a trailer

What have I done? I opened up eBay saw a Suzuki 1987 GSX850 shaft drive with a dark garage pic from the rear covered in dust from not being moved in 5 years and I bid £400 and won

For petty sake what have I done!!!

That's not the end of it? It's 150 miles away with no means of collection, can anyone near Grantham lend me a bike trailer????

 

150 North or South Carl ??

 

Muffking was renting his out at £25 a day IIRC.

 

191005314744

North, Newcastle somewhere

 

Ah Gary's a nice fella is he not?

Good shout

Any comments advice etc welcome, apart from don't do it, it's too late

 

I would love to buy one but I haven't told the wife about this yet

 

East Bolton is not north of Newcastle, it's just off A19 testos roundabout north of 5under1and in case of confusion!

 

No Jonny he asked if it was north or south of Grantham, sounds like your close by if I need help up there

 

Carl,


Best advice I can give is BAIL on the deal!

Ring the Bloke, tell him the Wife's gone APE and forbid it, bung him £50-100 for pissing him about and treat it as a lucky escape.
If you buy it, it'll be a money pit and be worth Fek all at the end of it.


80K miles as well!

 

Lol (well remembered gary).

You've pretty much got to pass me to get it too. I'll even put the kettle on while you hitch up
Have you got a towbar on the car yet Carl?

 

Yep, still got my spare trailer here, but I'm near Hastings!!!

 

Carl, Carl my dear friend, if I hadn’t seen what I saw in Leicester Squire this evening I would be laughing my arse off.

Take more water with it would my advice. Emigration would my second piece of advice from you’re wife and the bank manager when the restoration bills start rolling in.
If all fails your welcome to hide it in my new garage, until you find the right moment to tell her.

Not your best move Carl, said with a slow sideways head movement.

 

Oh dear, I was excited by the pending challenge of hour in my garage and following your comments I'm feeling a little sick to the stomach?

I could always steam clean it and stick it on eBay ;-)

 

Just an idea Carl, just pay them to pick it up direct from the seller and save yourself a trip mate:

 

It's an idea David however whilst it's on the trailer I thought I would take up your offer and bring it straight down to you and your shiny new garage, just move the duke over to one side!

 

No problem Carl, just give me 24hrs notice:



Joking apart, if you need any help with the project just give me a call.

 

I know you told me you wouldn't do a track day without a track bike Carl, I do hope this is not it
