I won the Ebay auction for the CB500. Bidding finished at £1350. I'm still kind of shaking. Confused

Just to remind you all:

Enjoy

Remember to phone around lots of companies before hand.

Some won't mind if there's only a few days in the NCB, providing you send it off when you get it.

Cahoot was by far the best loan deal. I got approved instantly but I think it will take a few days to get the money into my account.

I will be sorry to see the Planet go because to be honest I think it is a very sexy bike, and it will be a long time before I can afford a big bike that I think is a nice as the Planet. I was riding alot with my girlfriend on the back and I didn't want to pay to de-restrict it then get it restricted again to sell it so its time was up. Hopefully I can sell it okay. Confused

Yes the pipes will be dealt with quickly on the new bike. If you've seen the state of the pipes on my Planet you'll understand my paranoia. Rolling Eyes

Drag racing hmmm? Not sure - maybe I will! I think I would probably stall off the line!

Laughing

Cheers for advice etc., hopefully the bank will let me drain my account, and when the bike arrives today it isn't a heap of shite!

It's only a few days. I'm just going to wait till thursday. Very Happy

I'm actually getting some decent quotes now!

Telebikes = £377 excess £350. Legal cover extra £18 but then I get free breakdown cover with it for a year including puncture repair and out of fuel rescue - both situations I am familiar with! Wink

Got the bike now! Very Happy

It's in pretty good nick for the age and miles on it. A few bits of rust but hopefully I'll take care of it soon.

About the first riding that I'm going to do on it is a Ridesafe course next week with the Met police! Cool

Cool bike m8, I've just bought one, a '96er in green for £1400, but mine has a ss system and braided hoses. I'm still waiting for the cheque to clear so I havent got it yet. Doesnt really matter tho cos I haven't got my test till the 14th. Gonna keep it in work till I get my anchor fitted.

Tis a Motad, and the braids are Goodridge. Quite pleased because they were two things I was going to do asap anyway, so it's saved me a bit of hassle. It just has a little (half-inch) dint in the fuel tank, otherwise it's a beaut. The guy just phoned to say he'll drop it off tomorrow, but I'm off all this week, taking the kids to wales for a few days so I won't even see it again till next Monday! Sad
