An Englishman in Eire! Need I say more?

Blackbird’s a dodo!

March 16th, 2010 Posted in bike, general

I managed to get the current owner to supply a few clearer pics of the Blackbird I was looking at. Thankfully it had the one I wanted showing the registration number. I tried to go online and run the HPI check but wouldn’t work for me so I had to get mummy dearest to run it for me as she is in the UK. The best twenty pounds I ever spent….. Well, borrowed!

Turns out the bike was a category C write off in August 2008 and then had a registered color change in November 2009. Only having brand new black fairings four months ago will definitely add to her looking all nice and new and shiny. So, time for me to walk away. It does explain why she was far too cheap tho. You know what they say, if it seems to good to be true…..

So, I’ve already eyed up an other one which has been suggested by the guy that does all of my servicing and as such comes with a bit of certainty. She’s the metallic Baltic blue and is still super pretty. Even Snooze like the look of her! So, hopefully in a bit over a week I’ll have some nice pics to share. Fingers crossed eh!
