Just remember its 30 years old, its likely that every single rubber component is going to need replacing, the emulsion tubes in the carbs are probably worn oval, wiring looms are going to be crusty, the plastics are incredibly brittle, exhausts are likely to be paper thin, radiators failing, inside the petrol tank is likely to be corroded etc etc, if its a bike you want to use every day be very careful, if its something to polish and use occasionally then maybe, but you could get a decent late 2000's VFR800, CBF1000 or Fazer 1000 for a couple of grand which are better in every single way. Obviously if its a mint low owner garaged bike then it should be considered, but it's 30 years old still.

Assume everything will be absolutely knackered, my 94 one was ropy 20 years ago, they don't age well, good bikes though, mine was black and pink. I wouldn't be swapping a CBF600 for one though.

Tell your CC company your card is lost, get another card which will have a different number/expiry, if its just a rolling contract (as I'm sure they all are) it should expire naturally if not paid.

Just block him, then advertise it on here.

It was probably present 5 minutes before the car was collected and cleared :😀

Decent one for sale on this very forum @yes oui si

Spotted this out of the window at work

Halfords yes with a V5.

It's lovely, and 5 mins for me, I didn't think it was possible to drive for 8.5 hours in this country 😅 Although saying that it took 3 hours to do 70 miles last Saturday.

Is the tank plastic on these? The tanks on my 955 Daytona and Street Triple had begun to swell a bit due to ethanol content in fuel. Take the tank off and check the plastic pipes going to the IACV, they split and cause poor running, be careful of the fuel pipe connectors though. Tuneecu and an elm327 dongle will allow you to read fault codes and even remap it if you want. Nothing wrong with that front end to me, it will be miles better than standard. Good buy, I have had multiple triumph triples.

I've just put a set of these on the missus's RCZ after some cunt slashed her tyres for having the temerity to park outside their house on a public road for a week. They seem ok to be honest, not as good as cross climates obviously but 450 quid cheaper.

Will wbac buy it with a failed mot?

Yeah fuck that I don't do anything now for anyone other than wife and daughters, oh and my neighbour who paid me 50 quid to change the battery in her i10 and wouldn't let me do it for free so she is in credit.

Are you sure it's not you?

Ecu testing will rebuild your abs pump for 250 quid, I have had a couple of peugeot/citroen ones done, they aren't particularly difficult to do and bleed if you have diagnostics. Edit didn't see above post

Get a modern with a small turbo'd petrol engine if you want cheap tax and good economy, or a hybrid Toyota or Lexus if you are worried about reliability. Or buy a diesel and have the £2k you save in fuel as a contingency, they aren't all unreliable. I couldn't stomach 700 quid a year for an old bus like a legacy if I'm being honest but if your budget doesn't stretch to an efficient modern then I can see why you stick with it. I get the equivalent of around 80mpg using my Volt with a mixture of petrol and electric, its free to tax and is still a decent sized car and not some econobox, I also got sick of paying high tax and getting low mpgs in older larger engined cars.

Mine never increased at all when I noobed my Saabs, mainly because I forgot to tell them.

I wouldn't know I always block them as they pull off the drive

Yup no-one gives a fuck apart from us folk, not once has anyone asked me about history and maintenance when I've sold dozens of shitters through FB and Gumtree.

Ouch

Just buy a 3.5mm Bluetooth adapter Aux Bluetooth V5.1 Receiver Car - SOOMFON Wireless Car Bluetooth Aux Adapter Support Handsfree Call, Music Streaming Bluetooth Aux Adapter for Car, Home Stereo (Silver) https://amzn.eu/d/c31oIiT I have them in a couple of cars and they just work.

You'd better check you don't invalidate your insurance policy if you remove it, it'd be a major pisser if you grabbed the front brake, locked the wheel and mowed down a load of pensioners waiting at a bus stop, to find out you'd voided your policy by removing it.

ABS is great (on the road), I've never had an issue with it on any modern bike, tbf your 1100 BMW is a very early system and I'd imagine the system on the RE to be as basic as it gets and built to a very low price, the cornering abs on my Z1000SX was amazing and allowed me to hit the brakes at a substantial lean angle in the wet and not fall off, not that I intentionally tried to test it of course. Some modern bikes allow you to turn the rear abs for off road riding.

He won't ever unfortunately, fuck knows why.
