I'm sure we've all done it...
Had a few glasses of wine and put a stupid bid in before going to bed.
Checked computer in morning and noticed the "You need to leave feedback".
I'd won a selection of airhead spares for a total of 99p.
I paid up via Paypal and half expected the seller to tell me to go forth but instead he was very polite and pleasant and simply asked me when I was going to collect it all as it was impossible post as it was too much. Then I had to look up to see where Hatfield was.
Luckily, I was taking my son Martin back to Uni in Brighton so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Turned up at the sellers house at midday Sunday and he led me to his shed at the bottom of his garden. It was tiny shed that just had room for an immaculate R100S that he had restored. He is Polish and takes the bits back to Poland to have bits done at fraction of prices in UK. He told me to help myself to anything I wanted that was surplus to his requirements.
So I started with three RT fairings complete with all the inner panels and mounting frame.
Found asetof fairing lowers that are in better condition than any I had before.
Next I found a complete rear light unit with perfect wiring (this has been fitted to Trigger today to replace the one with dodgy wiring).
I managed to find room for a frame for a R80/7 which also came with perfect rear subframe (unlike all my previous ones, this one comes with seatlock and all the small tabs for the side panels all intact!
He then threw in a seat.
A couple of sets of handlebars followed.
By this time I physically couldn't fit anything else in my car so I had to stop.
I gave him an extra £20 as I felt so guilty but he wanted me to take more stuff.
Here's a photo of the stuff in my workshop:
