The little tale grows to a larger tale, after a very pleasant drink at the White Swan with Fungobat and his beautiful wife, Fungobat asked if there was any news on the blue NC?
So out of curiosity and for a bit of fun I text the owner to see if he still had the bike for sale.

Pics a must.

So to bring things up to date, on my way home I called in to view OLB and negotiated a fair deal with the seller, without handing over any money and just on a hand shake the owner handed over the keys,V5 and service books etc and said “see you tomorrow” I replied I haven’t given you any money to which he replied, don’t worry you’ve had a good buy, see you tomorrow. I left thinking to myself what has just happened?

I left thinking to myself what has just happened? That’s old fashion trust When I bought the Triumph 21 the chap did not even count the cash! Love the ethics of a hand shake to seal a deal |

Okay so not a huge amount to say really, the bike has had 7 owners I think the last three of four haven’t done anything with it really. The nice parts are the original owners manual, service book, 1985 Honda dealer guide and the original tax disc when the bike was first registered, I have the original log book from when the bike was new and the first owner Honda card. The bike also has its original dealer number plate.  what does title status mean |
