Today I went to look at a deal for four 125 Superdream’s, advertised on Facebook. I only really went out of curiosity as it appeared to be a good deal. The photos on the advert were very poor and you could just about make out 3 bikes in fairly poor order.

When I arrived I was shown a large amount of spares in bags and boxes, so I assumed the four bikes he had told me about were just frames and these parts, he was showing me, were to be used in the rebuild.
He then took me into the back garden and pulled a tarpaulin off four complete bikes, they were difficult to inspect well, as space was limited.
I decided they were in too poor a condition and I haven’t got the room.
He told me that he had 70 plus enquiries about the bikes that he hadn’t replied too. So I said fair enough I’ll have a think if someone comes in the meantime take their money.
I went back to my car and thought my son has just finished building his new garage so made a phone call, he said the garage was empty and the bikes sounded like a good deal. So I went back and closed the deal and then thought wtf have I done.

What I did realise when offloading is we have 4 built up bikes, 2 frames with number plated and 2 frames with no number plates. I haven’t looked in all the bags and boxes so tax discs or number plates may be found for the frames with no registration plates. Hence the reason for the main title.

Whoever was hoarding them certainly had taste in colour.

Nice buy, I've been looking around for one for a while so the missus can get build up some road experience again, she's finding the Beamer a bit of a hand full and I'm sure it's just lack of experience.

There is one on ebay at the mo, I was trying to convince Rona that she would love it...nope, not interested. Since the KTM shit, she has lost her mojo for bikes a bit. I am sure the 400SF will regain her interest. Nice deal done Carl, well done. Gee.
