Diesel motorbike any one?

[motorbreath]

Wow is all I can say, what a little gem, a true one off, a mad max motor... The description explains all :-)

"It owes me about £250."



We can tell!

[Hooli]

I must be sick, I like it!

[peteO]

bet this sounded good after a few pints down the pub... not too much in the flesh

[bob1179]

Good God.

I'm going to start drinking soon. I might throw in a bid after a few beers...

It's awesome.

Maybe.

[Hooli]

I'm on my sixth beer and bidding is now up to a whole one hundred and sixty English Pounds. What would the wife actually say if I wheeled that beast up the drive?

You should do it. I dare you...

It seems to have some interesting design features, the regular five speed car gearbox on the right hand side and the shonky looking rear brake are my favourites!

[Hooli]

I'm convinced the rear brake is behind the peg, which should make it easy to use....

[motorbreath]

I think my fav is the radiator expansion tank being strapped to the fuel tank, but then again there are many fantastic design s going on hehe

[hidetheelephants]

Holy good gravy. I'm particularly impressed with the drive shaft shrapnel shield made of chicken wire.

[Richyboy]

Give this monstrosity the terrifying destruction it truly deserves. Also I hope the next nanny state government bans diesel.

[LordFlathead]

Liam your thread has just arrived...

This bike deserves to live! Please will someone stupid brave enough buy it then get it remapped

I think the only thing that could possibly handle worse would be a one-sided, two wheeled hearse. If I had the money I would buy it and sell it to Liam

I like that design feature. It's a unique solution a specific engineering problem.

Or it could be just a bit st.

It just endears the bike to me more!

I have this auction saved in my 'Watched' list. I just couldn't drink enough to stick an early bid in...

If we'd finished our move & I'd built our workshop, I'd be very tempted with such a daft thing. At least I'd never loose it at bike meets

[Willy Nilly]

Lets hope he doesn't spill any fuel filling it up

[Turtle head]

Its made from coffee machine & boat parts gives you confidence.

[motorbreath]

The list of questions and answers at the bottom of add makes note resting reading as well...

[ZesPak]

A diesel bike with no mention of mpg whatsoever??
