Ah, that's lovely. Local too! Shame it's far too small for me. GLWS!

 

[Vantage]

Oh if only I had the money!
My dad bought that very same bike when we moved to England. Rode it to work for a couple years then passed it on to me.
That same bike took me to over 50mph in Rivington one day and no bike has ever come close to that since. It was a bloody rocket that bike! Until yours, I've never seen another one. Rare!
Whoever ends up with that will be a very lucky person indeed.

I can’t reply to the DM for some reason, I might be too new on the forums? Unless I’m just blind and can’t see the reply button!

Yes it is

Think you're right about DM but until we need to exchange any sensitive info it's probably not necessary to use DMs.

 

[riddeell]

Brilliant, not to worry then. I’m Durham based which I believe or en route between newcastle and Sheffield, however I’m away with work until Friday lunchtime

 

[jongooligan]

Np except I'm on holiday all next week then working away for a week. Could bring bike back up north around 14th August.
