  3. Must admit, I've been considering 888/851 for several months now. There seems to be a few reasonably priced bikes around too.
    Congrats on the purchase.

  6. I had my brand new 888 delivered to my office in 1994. It arrived just before lunch and I could not wait to ride it. I borrowed a helmet and took it for a blast. I must have looked like a proper twat wearing a suit, but the smile inside was worth it.

  12. My '89 851 Strada (monoposto) might need rehoming soon... and it won't be the £12k that is being asked by a certain NE garage for one that's not as nice or original as mine. :)
