Warm fuzzy feelings have caught many people out but I wish you the best with it, hopefully it will be what you want/hope it to be

I bought my RE 350 Bullet Electra on photographic evidence even though the present owner couldn't start it, not really his fault in the circumstances (he was terminally ill in hospital). I was a gamble, but one I was willing to take and it has paid off after getting the bike the way I want it (more personal effort than cash spent).

I also have an FB AJS Stormer, bought as a non-runner. It turned out to be a one-off bike built by Fluff Brown AJS for HM Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations and appeared as an exhibit on the their factory stand at the 1977 Avon Dirt Bike Show.

I rejected the Ossa Climber I had agreed to buy which was advertised as a "good runner". On arrival (after an 8 hour drive to pick it up on a bank holiday) the engine was in pieces with a broken kickstart mechanism.

Hi Wheaters

I went to view the bike Monday night it was only 5 miles away the engine frame paintwork is spotless looks nearly show room quality, and with having owners club paperwork with it makes me think all will be fairly straight forward, I collect it tomorrow morning so once I see the log book again it might be a bike that is known to you guys

Not sure I am going to get much sleep tonight, like a big kid at the moment
