Some people are like slinkys....
no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!

 

Morini did a 250 single (essentially a 500 with one pot chopped off) and
a proper 250 V-twin, which is impossibly small, rare and desirable.

 

God, that's gorgeous. I have *always* wanted an early 350 Sport. Right,
I'm bidding on this.

Nor me, but wtf. Something can be sold.

 

That's nice.

I wonder what the reserve is on this - Moriis don't seem to have been
making decent money for a while, which is encouraging, but if this was
mine I wouldn't let it go for much under £1600.

If I win it, something has to go. The 400 Four, probably. Maybe the
XS650. or the CB125. Or perm any two.

Deff a V twin, small and red and on L plates it was, cafe racer style,
it was nice. It must have been new to the lad as his dad was there
showing him how to ride it. I was very green. My GT250 ratter was
sulking all the way home

them.

Hmmm it is rather nice, isn't it

I'd have it. I won't, of course, as I can't afford anything else, but
I'd still rather like it.

If I were to speak your kind of language, I would say that man's only
moral commandment is: Thou shalt think. But a 'moral commandment' is a
contradiction in terms. The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the
understood, not the obeyed. The moral is the rational, and reason
accepts no commandments."

 

<picks up jaw>

 

oooh. I had one with an SP370 motor in it. Cafe racer stylee. Luverly.

 

Damned good point. And nor should I.

Sadly, me neither.

It's all a bit moot thobut. The heartless spawn of Satan will probably
end up breaking it for thirty pieces of silver.

I fully agree. We might differ in our interpretation of appropriate,
though.

Why not? Are you trying to imply I'm irresponsible or something?

Not Fair!

So would I.

 

Something around £1800. Nice 400 Fours abound but they're hard to find
with *all* the original paperwork, factory set-up manual, genuine Honda
parts book, and a couple of decades' worth of MoTs and tax discs....
