i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTIyWDkyOA==/z/0WEAAOSw7ThUnzdo/$_57.JPGHi all. I am about to take delivery of this Cafe Racer which I spotted on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait for it to arrive. I am hoping to share some adventures with you in the future and will be picking your brain I am sure at times. I live in Sussex and will be taking trips to Rye and Brighton on a regular basis. I have been biking since 1975-6 and have been through a few bikes in my time. Currently ride a naked 1997 BMW K1100rs and have a couple of Goldwings as well, but I will be selling them this year (the GWs that is). Really looking forward to getting my cb250n SD sometime during the week as it is winging its way to me. Hope to see some of you out on the odd trip. Cheers DD

Yeah we got the ebay pics already....
But please take time to show us the pics with you on it when you take delivery - no dodgy excuses about broken cameras etc - I can see a lot of people being keen to know more about this bike and pictures are a must.....looking forward to 'em. And don't worry, we will help you upload them if need be - photobucket is not as bad as it seems.

Hahahaha.
I just hope I fit on it as I am 6'6". I'll have no excuses re pics as apart from bikes, music and photography are my main hobbies.
Can't wait to wake up the neighbours when it arrives. There is a youtube vid. I will see if I can find it.

This was the video on ebay as part of the listing was it not ? Upload fresh stuff when you take delivery and keep us posted...many members who are into the non standard stuff will watch this with interest. |

Welcome DD , from the pics it looks like the bike is fitted with a starter motor - maybe just connect directly to that with jump leads to start ? Then you could build up a "starter trolley" - very "race"  |

Cheers all.
I had not thought of that re the starter motor (ta Boyer). I do have a power pack with jump leads so that may solve the problem when I go to set off first thing as I will have to push it uphill first in order to get it going etc.
Trouble with that will be going to the greasy Joe caf first thing on a Sunday morning. I live in a big close... Not sure the neighbours are going to love me much...oh oh...
