New (to me) bike

[Alfa_75_Steve]

I seem to have just bought a 1995 Ducati 750SS.

13k miles, FSH, all old MOTs, current owner has had it since 2001 and even has the original sales invoice from 1995.....

Cost me £1500, so that's the last of my 2007 bonus gone.



ETA: Ebay purchase - collection planned for next Saturday.

Good skills!

Now for some Termis!

kwolity.


Seriously, I like.

Might be bargaining time though - I note from searching on listed items that it previously only got to £800 without meeting its reserve...

'Tis a nice looking Duke m8, I'd like one but not quite yet.

Great bikes. I used a mates one for a few months and loved it

A bh to start in the winter though.

I've spoken to him and it appears that his mother died recently, which explains why the previous auction was cancelled - we've postponed my collection 'till Sunday next week so he can go to her home town to scatter the ashes.

I'm not the kind who'll do a BIN on eBay then try and barter down (unless something is significantly not as described) - especially as a friend in the trade has told me that I appear to have grabbed a real bargain.

very nice

[andrewh]

Yeah anyone who'd try to Barter down after a BIN, would be looking at my fist lol;-)

I've just had some more pics mailed over to me:







I can't believe how clean it is.

FSH, including belts and clearances done on 8k miles (on 13k now, so another 5k to go 'till they need doing again)
New clutch last spring
Interim service done in March
MOT, new rear tyre and head bearings done last week.

Best thing is that Auntie Carole only wants £120 FC, without using my NCB.

I'm really looking forward to the ride home on Sunday.

I'll be at Loomies ( http://www.loomies.co.uk  ) at around 1pm on Sunday if anyone's around.

Edited to fix URL and duplicate pic.
