If prices are low it would seem like an ideal time to buy some more instead !

Stop trying to fuel our addictions you enabler you!
I'm gonna play the Hitler card and blame brexit here - I've noticed the new year price doldrums previously but they've begun to pick up by now before. The difference between what the traders seem to think their bikes are worth and what bikes are actually fetching at auction has never been further apart imho

How is that possible ? It would be like having only one pair of socks for the reason that you only wear one pair at a time ....ludicrous

I did try ....l took the Termignoni off and fitted Fast by Feracci , different sounds but just as loud as one another. Anyway if the "fuzz" see a red Ducati going past they like to stop you for something to do Mind you they have their hands full with gilet jaune at the mo.

Lot 300 onwards in this auction in Crewkerne look rather fun.

Quite fancy the Sun (449) and the Hetchins (456) but I suspect the auctioneer's estimates are low!

Some real gems there @Specialeyes
