Now you have just enough time to fashion a biking outfit similar to your boots.

Off you go!

It did go for a good price but it was far from perfect and I reflected this in the price asked. I could have asked around £2,500 but would have ended up bartering with peeps who would have picked holes in the little things and I wanted a quick sale. The bike runs perfectly but the light unit needed replacing as well as a few other little things. The bike will look great after the usual tidying up which I know Kaz who bought her is looking forward to doing.

The one you have your eye on Sneaky looks to be a goodun but as always get it checked out. Good luck

It's most definitely waterproof.

You might have a problem considering there isn't much armour. I suggest some shin pads? Do you have any? If you have an old jumper spare then perhaps attaching some velcro would do the trick? If not, then some old socks with the toes cut out could be pulled up to your elbows, then insert shin pads.

It's genius I tell you. We are so underrated.

Thanks Squiffy, I am going to take a look at it on Saturday, its just been serived in Potters bar and is still at the garage so I just I can quiz them about it. I know very little about bikes but was going to do a little research on tell-tale signs before hand.

Do you know of a service like the AA or simalar that will come over and give it the once over?

Not so much an inspection like the AA one but there are a few of the guys on here who know their bikes inside and out who might be prepared to pop along with you to give it a once over. I'm sure there are independant specialists who will offer the same sort of thing as the AA have a look in the big yellow book
