Any ukrmers/ukrmc'ers near or in Ludlow?

I was planning to check out a bike there next Saturday but after
consulting the rail time tables I'm not sure if I want to go there
*twice* in case I buy the bike.

So I was wondering if someone in the esteemed audience of these
newsgroups happens to live around this area and would be willing to
check out a SOB for me during the week?[1] Because if it's as good as the
seller implies, I might as well take the train, buy it and ride it
back instead go there, leave deposit and return the weekend after.

Failing that, anyone with a van fancy a trip to Ludlow next Saturday?

[1] Compensation in form of a nice curry?

Haven't you got enough shite in the garage already. You're putting TOG
to shame now ;-)

I'm still short on bikes that are actually (a) road legal and (b) good
for commuting without costing an arm and a leg.

<whisper>
Plus it's an *Italian* bike.

Yeah, yeah, any excuse ;-)

Nah, that doesn't work. Italian, road-legal, commute, cheap to run......

Indeed it is.

Mr Pot, the Kettle family is waiting outside.

Hehe. It does indeed fit into this category *if* you can do most of
the maintenance yourself...

 

Heh. Sadly true.

BTW, how's the 75 going?

Have you pulled up the little hatch in the middle of the rear shelf? -
mine has a small pic of a set of headphones and a socket on it, and a
pull-off panel inside with some terminated connections - what's that all
about then?

It's to give you something to listen to whilst you wait for the RAC to
arrive.

Heh. I must be more careful. Usually keep it well within the 'green' on
the tacho until it's reading 50 degrees on the temp. gauge.

Mine started perfectly well and quietly after standing for a week, so
sounds like it'll be fine with that.

Be _very_ interesting to find out what they were doing with that panel
in the back.

 

I think it was on Sun, 27 Jul 2003 10:26:03 +0100 that Timo Geusch

I'm about 20 miles from Ludlow, but I'm disappearing off on me hols on
Tuesday morning Give me a shout after the 14th Aug if you're still
not sorted.

I don't know much about Morinis, but have always fancied one. I was
*very* tempted by a 3.5 at the Stafford show last October, but it was
blue. Morinis are red. Full stop. Even at just over a grand with a
reputed 12K on the clock. Sounded good though...

Cheers, I'll drive/ride over on Saturday anyway, but someone looking
it over during the week would potentially save me one trip. OTOH I
might just get on with it and take the train.

Interestingly enough, if they are early wire wheels/drum brake models
then I've seen several blue ones. I actually quite like the
colour. They're like Ferraris - most of them are red, but I reckon the
Stradas look better in Silver or Blue.

*If* it was an early one and original, that would've been quite a
bargain, even if it was a Strada/GT and not a Sport...

 

Lol. I must be getting more tolerant in my old age ;-)

 

Rob was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Yep. Never seen one of them in blue, but as Morinis were essentially
handmade I wouldn't be surprised if you could get them in any colour
you wanted.

Heh. Actually the Strada is pretty good for day to day use as it's
somewhat more comfy than a Sport.

 

probably something about rear passengers being able to listen to music on
headphones. Maybe even from a different source?

Well, I really was after someone who could do some basic checks like
fork seals and stuff. Thanks anyway.
