Skippy Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Given the desperate state of my latest acquisition and the undeniable fun that can be had at someone else’s misfortune or stupidity (the latter in this case) I thought I’d start a thread of woe so you can take the piss properly. Here are a few photos for your amusement. As they say, things can only get better. 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should point out that at the time I did advise against buying some ancient POS from a Dago Peasant......cos I know it won't end well. Young Raymond poo-pooed my advice......so now it looks like he's been well and truly assfucked! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I would go on the same website you bought it from and sell it for 500€ less than what it cost you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Now, it may not look like it but progress has been made on the DR…….firstly, there’s a big box of bits turned up containing everything from the essentials such as wheel bearings and calliper rebuild bits and bobs to the less essential but bling driven film-flam such blue grips and anodised blue in-line fuel filters. You can’t have enough bling. Wheels out, fluids drained, degreased, seat ready for recovering, baffle being fashioned from an arbitrary item and just propped up awaiting a few more bits which need to be ordered e.g. the third wheel bearing for the rear wheel as I stupidly thought there was only two………….mechanically-challenged me. It ain’t ever going to be pretty but it will start, go and stop properly and that’s good enough for me………which reminds me of a girl I once knew. I know you’ll all sleep better knowing progress is being made. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
