£40 for an x7 250 back in early 90,s. the bike was my mates and he was on his way out to see a bird when he popped in to stop for a quick chat. when he went to restart it made a noise and locked up. that p,d him right off so off he go,s and half hour later he knocking on my door and says its yours for £40 as i really need to see this bird tonight. i couldnt resist and bought it thinking it was seized but 20 minutes later after moving a dislodged screw behind the flywheel we were away again. wish i still had it at todays values!!
20 quid for a clapped out road going 50 . It was an old honda but cant remember the model .. No back tyre so sparks everywhere as we blasted up the tip . no brakes at all , The throttle had snapped so we routed the cable up and around the frame and down and tied it to the brake peddle . So foot throttle ha ha It was the best day ever then we rapped it into the river lol
500 for a mint 2 owner Uk model NC30, owner had passed on & a mate alerted me to it, after he had cleared it i went round and spoke to the lass about it, she had no idea what it was, and even when i told her what it was worth she said she didnt care as her other half would want it enjoyed & not sat in a garage. I later found out she put that 500 behind the bar at his belated wake when his regiment returned from tour.
My Zip50 was free....lol Does a Zip class as a bike....ok ok so its a moped, I was told a moped was a fat bird thats fun to ride but you would not tell yer mates about it..? :S
I was given a Honda C50 for my 16th birthday by my dads mate, he brought it up from Felixstowe in the back of a landrover, it was a bit tatty, but a tin of hammerite soon solved that, little belter when we had finished it there was no link pipe so we made one from 28mm copper pipe, we cocked the bend up and ended up cutting the pipe so we could turn it to the correct angle and used a conex fitting as a joint, my plumbing tutor at the time was well impressed, it was quite fast too, oh the memories of going out courting and going down the A17 to Holbeach nearly being sucked in by artics and spat back out again, as my uncle used to say " Boy a fanny would draw you further than dynamite could blow you"
