I really shouldn't be buying more bikes. I've actually got two for sale at the moment, but it looks like I'll be taking one in part-ex for them.
However, I found a bike on ebay that I just had to have! http://www.compton.vispa.com/Pictures/GileraCX1.jpg http://www.compton.vispa.com/Pictures/GileraCX2.jpg I kept my head though and only bid £1 over the opening price. Despite a lot of hits and (acording to the vendor) a lot of people watching the auction, I was the only bidder! For £1000 (US$2000), about half of what I've seen them go for before, I'm the owner of a 1992 Gilera CX. I should be picking it up on Thursday. They only built about 250 and there are reputed to be only about 6 in the UK. I did have fantasies of replacing the 30bhp 125cc stroker with a 500cc Nuovo Saturno or 600cc Nordwest engine, but I think this will be my next EV project.
