This - £725 of fun in the 6 weeks before it broke. Badly.

Is that a Talbot Samba convertible?
I can only imagine how badly that handled.

 

[Beebo]

I’m also amazed it still existed when by the time eBay was invented.
Its an A Reg from 1983!

Bought in 2007 and it's still going apparently.

It handled like a roller skate.

Tricky and unpredictable?

I bought the Internet and now all I get is adverts for different types of Internet. Look I just bought the red one, I do not want the silver Internet.

A 1991 Yamaha V-Max. I'd had a bit to drink, and unexpectedly hit the winning bid at £1425.

Yeah. But you’re not a real man unless you’ve ridden a V-Max around at least one corner and lived to tell the tale.

So money not wasted.

i repaired one for a mate.
after i got it all sorted and set up i thought I'll go for a ride ..
of all the bikes I've owned "42 of them" this Vmax was incredible in a straight line!!
the only bike i think handled worse was my RD200 which had bent forks and a slightly twisted frame,but that bike was a roundabout king but forget the left handers.

what a memory
