seanycozzie16v Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So heres my new ride! my first foray into the bike world! And a cheap one at that! My friend advertised this on facebook for £150 had a bit of a chat about the bike. offered him 100 quid and to my surprise he took it! v5 and 2 keys present! It was in a bit of a state when i picked it up as it was sitting in a garage for 8 years sitting there doing nothing. Brakes seized. frame rusty in places. engine didnt run etc. anyways i decided to take a gamble and 40 quid later on odds and sods here and there like mirrors, indicators, brakes, spark plugs etc here it is today. just added a nice set of turn out exhausts too. makes it sound a lot more beefy! this its the bike after a good 3 hour clean today! its not ready for the road just yet as it needs a new chain and sprockets and a rear wheel bearing!http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174215_zpsdly33omk.jpghttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174139_zps71oiiimb.jpghttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174149_zpsmekcien2.jpgwhat do we all think?? bear in mind this bike was only £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
