I was chatting to me Dad the other day and he's gonna be pretty much stuck to not doing a lot or going anywhere. Now a while back before all this **** happened he said he'd like and an old project to do up (Bike wise that is). He doesnt ride anymore cause he had a serious accident years ago and nearly lost his legs. He's had the odd bimble etc but never really owned a bike since then.
Has anyone got an old British bike for sale, cheap that is that he could work on while he's stuck at home. He's a fantastic engineer etc and to say he knows about mechanics, motorbikes etc would be a severe understatement. Its a pity he sold his lathe etc but he still loves workin on bikes even though he cant make the bits himself anymore.
What kind of bike? An old British tail type maybe, BSA, Greeves etc? I know theyre fetching good money nowadays so im probably asking for the impossible but im hoping to buy this meself and give it him as a present kind of thing.
Dont matter about the condition as long as it aint full of holes and its all there. Any offers would be very greatly appreciated. Just thinking this may keep him interested and active. Oh, nothing big though cause he cant lift weight etc anymore so maybe a 250 2 stroke or the likes.
Cheers one and all.
