Nice but, Kin ell, £4500 in GBP, is that par for the course over there?

Mate that's cheap. The last one I saw was 60k. Prices of cars n bikes here is stupid. For what I paid for my Aprilia I could've bought 3 in the uk

Sorry if it's a dumb question but why not buy one in the uk and ride it back?

Welcome back :><

What happened to the one you rebuilt in the UK?

Alright gav how's things. Been a long while. Well the one I built in the UK is here with me. Rode it over a few years ago but it died in hamburg never to restart. So it's been sat in the cellar ever since.
Andy I've got one here brought over but it works out cheaper to buy a Danish bike than put mine on Danish plates. Plus mine needs a new engine so it's definitely cheaper.
Off to go see it Saturday so as long as its tidy n in good condition I'll be the owner of tiger no. 2.
Just got to wait a year till I'm fit enough to ride it  :icon_cry:

Fingers crossed Rybes.

Forgot about yr old one going bang. If the one your looking at is a bit ropey, while your recovering, tart up the frame and engine and swap all the nice shiny bits off the uk one onto the danish one. Jobs a good 'un :thumbsup.

Is your injury self inflicted or is the aging process being unkind to you like the rest of us?

 Have a look in the new members bit mate there's some good photos of it. It's mint.
Yeah you wouldn't know about the injuries. Had an Aprilia rsvr until I bounced of a car at 80 n hit a tree. Injury list is massive. That was 8n August and I'm no where near fixed yet. Broken arm, exploded leg bone, destroyed wrist, amputated thumb and severed the main nerve to my hand. That resulted in 3 months in hospital. More metal in me than Barry sheene  :icon_lol:
