Hi guys
Long time no chat eh? Kind of lost the plot a little as far as biking is concerned. Sold my XJR1300 due to nowhere in the new house to keep it. My good lady won't let me put it in the study!
Anyway, I have a 1981 Z650 F2 in kit form that I'm looking to get rid of. I bought it as a complete runner a good few years ago and as far as I got was getting a few bits powder coated.
It's now in a store room at the back of the house and my wife curses me when she skins her ankles on the engine.
Is there anywhere you guys can suggest that I could list this for sale? Not looking for a great deal for it, just want the space really.
Cheers
Martin _________________

Eh up lad! Oops, slipped into northern there.
Yes I'm up in Grimsby now. Have been for a couple of years. Actually loving the place believe it or not.
Not had a rideable bike since October 2011 but I am looking at a new Bonneville at some point. Wifey might let me keep one of those in the study.
Hope you're all keeping well? _________________

Thats a great retro picture.
Retro bike, leathers, helmet and riding style.
A bloke at college had a green one. Cool bike.
No room in my place at the moment. _________________ Blue smoke and a ring ding ding |

I had a T100 in 2010 & 2011, cracking bike really, just not up to being pushed unless you spend ££££ on the suspension, keep it within it's comfort zone and it doesn't get too out of shape.

I thought you leant yours over further? (or does dropping it not count? ) _________________

Thanks for the replies guys and apologies for my tardy replies.
Not been to Barton bike night yet. Shame as its just up the road. Perhaps not having a bike is a part of that.
V - just sent you a PM.
