rotors7 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I recently found my old Mecatecno on ebay for sale, the seller wouldn't 100% confirm the engine number or I would've bought it back Anyways I tracked it down and it's been given a good restoration job, the new owner didn't know it was registered so I passed all the info on. It's funny how a bike can mean quite a bit to someone, memories etc, even after selling it on to buy a more up to date and easier machine to ride ! I always fancied a 'Rolls Royce of trials bikes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamish Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 No it wasn't Silver. I sold it in about 1981 and it was all standard apart from rear mudguard. It was road registered and had lights fitted. I can see from a search that it hasn't been taxed since 1981 so it will have spent it's life off-road. As I said it would just be nice to know what happened to it. Ridiculous what they are fetching now. In 1979 it cost me £869 brand new.

shakennstirred Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The ones that sell are reasonably priced still. You see some silly prices over 3k but most if not all don't sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
