DodgyBastard Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 We took the bikes out last night to a place we usually go and found some large signs at one of the gates stating Motorsports prohibited so we parked somewhere else and went in another way to plead ignorance...It's the first time I've had the yz250 and kdx200 out at the same time, the yz being a Motocross bike designed for racing is so much faster than the kdx but I had more fun on the kdx which is still quick for what it is but a lot more predictable and easier to control.The kdx is also a much better fit for me, it's higher and more comfortable to ride so I think I might sell the Yamaha.Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 That's the beige lada now sold and should be away tomorrow.Just this one left to get rid of, it owes me £600 but willing to listen to insulting offers...Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like it but it's a bit rubbish to drive especially driving it daily. Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk Is it a genuine 2.0S or a replica?

DodgyBastard Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Another quality vehicle purchased, I paid less for this than the Riva I just sold.Needs a bit of de-twatting but seems to drive ok.Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk chancer, paulplom, LightBulbFun and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 After the months of welding on this a little bit more progress was made in regards to fixing all of the other crap that's wrong with it. Today we bolted up the exhaust manifold to downpipe, my Mrs with her much smaller hands did most of the work, if you've ever had the misfortune of working on a Chevette exhaust you'll know of the complete lack of space around the manifold. Other jobs still to do, fit a new radiator, headlights, mirrors, exhaust silencer, bolt the bonnet back on, fit a choke cable and take it back in for an mot...

DodgyBastard Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Another old heap collected at the weekend, a 2.0 HDI, I think the rear beam is seized on one side so I'm probably just going to sell it on or try swapping for something else.It has mot until February, 170k on the clock, drives well enough but is a bit bouncy on the rear on bumps.Sent from my moto g( power using Tapatalk Jim Bell and loserone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.k Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The DVLA issued me with a VxxxMAU plate for my 306 when I requested a change from the Northern Irish plate it came on. I thought I might get a local plate and then was a bit disappointed that I got this seemingly random one, but maybe it wasn't random after all.

DodgyBastard Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sold the 306 and bought something much more miserable!A 1.3 escort estate in poverty spec, windy windows, no power steering, no central locking, no rev counter.51k and full service history, drives quite well.
