morning all,
I missed out on a Harris/Motodd type framed 180 (some sort of French copy from what I could understand)  yesterday at Stafford,
by not very much time either, I could not believe it, it looks a great bike,
  cursed stopping for a coffee and pee break on the way to Stafford
  cursed walking the wrong way around the stalls,
  cursed everyone and everything,
part of me regrets not getting it, the sensible bit says I would have probably had to sell my SFC 1000 to finance it,
however, it made up my mind that I should sell my 5TA so I have money and can go looking with cash !!!!
was not meant to be, was not meant to be, was not meant to be,......repeat until I am convinced.  ::)
Skinny,
 
Hey SkinnyPinny

Bad luck, was not ment to be.........

How much did it go for ? Was it in the auction ?

                   Cheers

hi
you may have had a lucky escape with the laverda at stafford.i thought the frame looked suspect as all the welds and frame joints had been covered in filler,only the swing arm welds were visible,why fair in and hide the welds?if you look at the welds on the rob north frames it almost seems a shame to paint over them they are a work of art.

Great show but I saw little of it. Saturday was absolutely manic and Sunday dead.

It was nice to see some old faces especially from the Laverda lads.

I was gobsmacked at some of the prices being achieved at the auction.

PS Got a new Motad on order for the Bandit, down pipes and links pipe plus all gaskets etc for ?120.
 
Hi Neale,  thats the sort of thing I keep telling myself, I do hope who ever has bought it has a got a good bike,
I had a Zed thousand for 17 years, I used to get my Zed stuff done at P&M, when I was in their workshop, I would look at the frames and think ...... one day, !
I have always fancied a P&M Kawasaki or even better the lav that was sold recently. or a Motodd or Harris, etc etc

There are a lot of people buying bikes as investments, rather than leave money in banks I guess,
this is good if you already own one, but if you are a budding owner, the prices are getting pushed higher and higher.
I can't believe the prices they are fetching, check the prices for other stuff, 
Broughs .... cough cough      ?131,300
  unused T160  (7 miles only) ?13,800
1972 V7 guzzi, ?7,245      (I must be missing something !)

I was only at the show for a few hours on Saturday, like you say Andy, it was packed,
cheers, skinny
