New bike

I bought the CCM from the auction today.
They said the exhaust was loud, it isn't.
They said it wasn't running correctly, it is.
They said it would make £2000 easy. It didn't

I got it for £1700.
Its a dual sport CCM 644, but only has the trail wheels. Its a 2003 bike.
Got it home and I can't find anything wrong with it. Well except the front
brake light cable has been cut for some reason.

I'm gonna supermoto it and ride it. I may get skint and sell it later.
Hopefully, I shouldn't lose money.

I'm pretty happy again.

 

oOooo.. sounds like a bargain, an ideal winter project.

Bring it to BOSM, it it's not too far away, or you have a bum made of steel.

That's a good state to be in.

 

I don't thinkit will take me all winter to connect up a wire.

Well compared to the KTM its like sitting on an big cushion.

 

Its a finance company repossession.
Only one other bidder the auction house usually sell furniture and didn't
have a clue what it was.
They thought it was a motocrosser!!

 

Well there is that. I'm gonna ride it till spring at least.

 

Heh, hmm... I was thinking more of finding the supermoto bits and bobs
for it.

Excellent, what's the tank range like of those then?

 

****


And, well done. ****.

 

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

You should be able to find the "other" set of wheels on fleabay if you
look long and hard enough...

 

LOL )

 

I dunno. I should find out.
I tend to do 3 laps in an enduro then fill up, it's only 30 miles but riding
for 3 hours.
It's not that it needs fuel, I need the rest by that point.

 

Well it could be a route back into road bikes.
Actually it's quite a laugh. I might keep it.
Bit slow though.
Fucking slow compared to my KTM.
That is scary on the road but that's the tyres and the massive power band.

 

I'm looking. I need to find out what ones fit on.
Funny isn't it. I buy a bike that's more suited to supermoto than my KTM.
Then, on ebay there are a pair of wheels for my bloody KTM.

I could buy them and get some spacers made up and have 4 bikes.

 

Give Veggie Dave a shout.
