She said a CB250N appears to be 1992 on my system....
I say ah yes, not the CB250N from 1992 (picturing met red and black examples, single carb and white comstar? wheels)....
So I then throw a B into the mix......CB250N-B......smile......computer starts to whirrrr??.......

The computer continued to whirr away.....then there was a bleep from the keyboard.
The lady then removed her glasses and glanced up at me.

As her glasses hit the desk, she said 'what part are you seeking for it?'
She took me a bit by surprise as I had not thought that far ahead. Stunned for a second by her beauty, I looked to my left and noticed an engine gasket which looked like it was for a Hornet or something of that ilk.
G-g-gasket I stuttered. G-g-generator gasket......

She looked me square in the eye and her reply hit me like a train. "Sorry, no. Our system only goes back as far as 1992 model wise......have you heard of someone like Ian Silvers?" "David Silver you mean?" I said. "Yes okay, thank you". I picked myself up off the floor, got into my car and drove away.  |

You would have liked their old shop in Wolverton FB , proper wooden oil stained floors and a genuine "service , Parts" hatch you went to  . Not my favourite dealer but I did buy a new XR250 from them 18 years ago ! |
