Had the chance...

[Mudskipper]

...to buy my old 250 back. Unfortunately I have no money and am therefore sad.

If anyone fancies buying a piece of Mudskipper biking history , let me know and I can pass your details on to the guy who has it.

CB250RS for those who don't know, 'modified' in a silly and pleasing fashion by myself.

I sold it with a fucked gearbox, he rebuilt the engine from that and a spare and did some welding to the frame.

Apart from that it's as I left it, he's looking for £350. Unsure how much T&T left but could find out if anyone's interested.

edit: Should probably give further info. Bike is in East Mids area, the RS is the twin port single version of the CB250, faster and lighter and tons more fun than the pooperdream. Manages motorways with effort, better for blatting round town though. Kickstart only so not for gays.

Damn it skipper reading down the first post thinking I'll have me a bit of that and when I get to the bottom you've snatched it up yourself. Thats just teasing

I've always liked the look of that bike so if you decide you don't want it or sell it further down the line drop me a pm


edit: I'm kicking myself for missing it when you first posted it.

Im to gay to ride a kickstart sorry nice bike though

[Mudskipper]

[plugger147]

aww that's bad shit, this kinda stuff only happens when your on your ass. If regular reliable transports what you need then there's not much point hanging onto something you don't have the means to repair, hope you get first dibs on the slabby once he's fixed that too .

Exactly, yeah I did wonder if maybe this time next year I might end up buying the slabby back off him with all the stuff done I didn't have time to do.

Damnit I missed when you first post, I'm in the market for a CB250 at the moment, and you know how much I love that bike

Sell it me when you finish with it (as long as you don't eat its gearbox again)

Oh and you need to whore it some more, there's not enough olive drab bikes in this thread
