As in the title, Is there anyone that lives in St. Ives that could go and have a look at a motorcycle on my behalf? I have found a nice one but I can't go and see it myself. I'm happy to sort you out some beer or something for your time..
Only ask as I'm collecting my multistrada from Cornwall next weekend and could of helped out. Think there are a couple of members out Cambridgeshire way.
The guy is off on his holidays for 2 weeks on Friday so I can either try and organise a viewing this week or try and do it when he returns after the 25th. I have 2 that I'm looking at, one is in Inverclyde and has a two brothers system, decat pipe, PC3 and has been set up on a Dyno. The other, in St Ives is a Fiat Rossi rep. I'm torn between the two.
Those are my thoughts too but I don't want to write the black one off as it'll actually be the better bike with the mods. Mrs Pingping is seriously cheesed off with it all. I'm glad I'm 5000 miles away. On another note, I begin my final journey home in 2 days (Although it'll take me a few weeks to actually get back.)
There has been this wonderful invention called and 'aeroplane'. Apparently it flies on the sky, just like a bird but using engines as propulsion and allows vast distances to be covered on a matter of hours. I recommend you give one of those a try instead of walking. You'll be home quicker to face the wrath of the mrs.:Wideyed: On the other hand walking might be better.
Flying is for "Civvies in Uniform" aka RAF. Real men march - at least, that's what the Yeoman of Signals told me :Woot:
I've decided to go for the Fiat rep, I'm just waiting for the guy to send me a whole lot of pictures before I confirm the deal. My R6 is up on Autotrader as I can't be bothered with the hassle of ebay. It's also one of the cheapest ones at the year. This is despite having two messages through gumtree offering me 4k for it earlier as 'that's all it's worth'.
Hah! I'm in enormous trouble with Mrs Pingping right now. I don't know why women say you can do something when they really mean don't do it. I think she just likes shouting.
