the_oil_baron Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 My wife will kill me but I spotted this on the French version of fleabay (Leboncoin). Well, I thought for 500 Euros why not, give it a go. I'm working out in the Middle East at the moment so my mate (French Mike) went to to fetch it. And.... he recons it a good 'un. Trouble is it'll be a while before I get back to play with it. When the Missus finds out I've bought yet another bike I'm definately dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have always heard "It is easier to ask for forgiveness, than it is to ask for permission" I guess you will find out if this is true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nice bike mate. They revolutionised the trials world.It looks mostly original apart from the blue rims, but they look good. Just tell the missus you deserved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchmike Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Oh ****, I forgot about not taking it to your place, well it was nice knowing you Bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_oil_baron Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have a feeling by the time I get back the tyres will have no tread, the engine will be seized, the frame will be bent, the clutch knackered......and Mike will have moved house........French Mike has a reputation around here as being a bit of a tree hugger.....
