Agree with both you guys, there`s something very magical happens (in our heads/heart) when guys of our age get the slightest whiff of Castrol R in the air and the unmistakable scream of a 2 stroker....we automatically become our younger/hooligan selves. About 15(ish) years back I went to the bike show in Birmingham, had a mooch round then went and got completely smashed in the bar......fast-forward a week and a van pulls up at my house and the driver asks me to sign for my delivery.....in my very inebriated wisdom I had purchased a full race 125 Aprilia....rolling chassis with 2 engines, 2 gearboxes and a box full of plastics etc......I would tell you what I paid for it but I dont remember even buying the bloody thing, must try and find the pics one of these days.
edit: just to clarify it was a (well) used race bike
