It’s been on SORN for about 4 years now and stored down in my front cellar. I’ve just fitted a brand new battery and put in fresh fuel and it started first kick after not being started for about 18 months. Hub describes its ease of starting as “You’ve only got to look at it and it goes”.
It’s been covered in grease so looks quite grubby but it’s all there inc wing mirror, side stand and adjustable rear shocks. It also has a blue rickman topbox on the desirable ‘pannier friendly’ rear rack. The saddle has a small hole. The front tyre was quite new prior to it going down into the cellar as were the front brake pads.
As it’s on SORN and therefore not MOT’d, taxed or insured I can’t put it out on the road so it won’t be able to be test ridden but I can assure you that everything was working as it should before it went into ‘hibernation’. Indeed, I was going to use it to drive from London to Rhayadar and the only reason that I didn’t was because I was surprised with another bike. (A leccy start paid for with horse winnings) The only place I could store it off road was down in my front basement so it will need to be carried up the steps to road level and then transported in some way to your home.
I see no reason why it shouldn’t pass it’s MOT.
It’s not the prettiest of bikes but it is solid and a good reliable runner. V5 in my name.
Any questions, please ask.
