Cheap, preferably smallish bike wanted.
« on: 27 October, 2012, 11:19:45 PM »
My mate's car has died and he is looking for a smallish bike as a ride to work hack. 125+ ideal as big hills to get over, condition unimportant, reliability paramount though. Repairs / bodges needed not an issue. Kent / Medway based would be ideal but Essex / London possible. Thanks for any help / suggestions. Nealr

Appealing to the council is like playing chess with a pigeon. You might be a chess grand master but the pigeon will always knock all the pieces over, shit on the board and then strut around triumphantly.

Billie was my first thought BE but his insurers kept the bike.

Thanks for that Ewan, will pass the link on to my mate. I can find it easy enough too, it's only a couple of miles from where some friends of mine live.

Thanks for suggestions and ideas / links. He's now got himself a little 31 year old CD200 and is loving 2 wheels again. Haven't seen him so alive in years.
