paulus 26 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 A mate of mine got left this in a will from an old engineer who he sold a few campers to over a good few years, The old bloke spent 15 years rebuilding and upgrading this little 125cc monkey bike. it is tuned to f**k and even has NOS, No way on this planet would i take it out on the road Lol, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmandont 9,802 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I'd give it a rattle no bother, was thinking about buying a new one a few years ago but bought a mtb instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Bloke was a lovely bloke but a bit of an odd ball, He once brought a Tag axle camper van off a mate of mine, Drove it all the way up to the Highlands, Parked up near a beach, Then immediately drove it all the way back to my mate, as he could not get a signal on the TV to watch Coronation Street.

To restore a monkey bike to that sort of condition you definitely need to be a little bit Special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
