| Thats pretty good! Considering when my first year insuring my YBR Fully Comp but with no benefits and about £400-£600 excess cos me around £650 to insure. And that was only a 125 =S
Put it in for fixing today! Can't wait to be back on the road! | |

| Haha yea tell me about it. I think I might have duped!
Looks like my old bike isn't going to be running any time soon. They want £500 just to srtip the engine down to find out what is wrong with it.. thats before any repairs or parts are charged for. I think I might just get this bigger bike I was on about in my introduction thing.
The guy in th garage suggested that I could source a second hand engine and have them fit I for me. Do you think that might be worth doing or should I just sell the bike as parts n get this new thing?
Cheers | |

| What bike is it? And what are the problems. We could have a go at stripping it if you fancy. Just bring it down to my garage and we could go from there. Pm me if interested. All the best. Damo | |

| The bike a little Yamaha YBR125. As I say it is only a little thing. And how much would you be thinking of charging for the same kinda thing? And where abouts is your garage? Thing is I would need to transport the bike some to get there. I can fit it in the back of a car but I doubt my dad would be willing to take it too far.
This 850 is going for £750. I wanna see it running before I buy, but thats on the cards. I am getting paid on the 9th so things should be happening around then. Cheers Damo

| kev, sorry mate I didn't realise that you were in Luton. I was gonna say just buy me a drink. It's quite a long way to travel tbh as I have no guarantee that I can get it working. Sorry bud. It's a shame you are so far away. If I can help you with anything via message though just give me a shout. Nice one and good luck. Damo | |

| No worries man I certainly will keep you in the loop with this. I need all the help I can get haha! If I arrange things right, I might be able to transport to somewhere in London, if that is where you are. It would mean organising things a bit better that is all. I'd have to get my dad onside. And I would go as far as to buy you 2 pints!! Cheers Damo Ok, just looked up where Wallington is - A little too far a fear. Thank you anyway
