I have a long memory....

Here is the bike in question on Commercial Road in Bournemouth (Which was in Hampshire in those days) the day I sold it for £365.

(Worth around 6k now)...

Not such a big loss.

£365 in 1972 is worth about £4500 in 2014.

£500? Must have been a Ducati dealership.

If it was a main dealer for whatever make your bike is, you could also try it on with the UK head office/importer as well.

When others have been meddling, should always run a car/bike for a few hundred miles before tackling a long trip.
