End of an Era
« on: March 02, 2011, 07:09:22 PM »
My brother resurrected Simon M's venerable DR650 after its final blow-up. In the end it cost him a lot of money as he had to buy a donor bike to get everything needed to make one good bike.

Gareth rode it to the Dragon and although he loved it he feels that it doesn't have a place now in his garage as he'd rather concentrate on restoring his CB250 RS and riding his Ducati Monster.

He has reluctantly put it on Ebay. HERE's the advert. Starting bid was £500.

I've ridden the bike and it goes very well indeed. If I had the money I'd have snapped his hand off.

It's a shame to see a well-known TC bike go after all these years as its been such a regular fixture at club events.

It went for £601 in the end, I think my brother is a bit gutted.
