Hi I'm a newby on the forum.. I have dug out from my garage my yb8e. I am led to believe its one of the twenty six that where made in this configuration.
Is not been used for several years. It's in fastline motorcycles at Preston being sorted by Kevin Mitchell. it's running albeit a bit lumpy it will be sorted this week.
Here's my issue this is the second time I've done this and put it away again for a couple of years.. Then dig it out again. Bikes like this should be used.
I don't know what to do should I keep it or sell it.

HI Guys
I've had the bike sorted mot and road tested . I loved the bike but I am afraid I am going to sell it. It had done 3 miles since its last MOT in 2009. Had a ride out to Knott End bike meet on Wednesday some 30 miles I had to be peeled off the bike. Then put it back in the garage . In reality I won't ride it again now.
Its time for it to go to someone who will love it and cherish it.
I wil try and upload some pictures when I figure out how. If your interested send me an email to paul@pauljmullins.com and I'll send some details over. |

Upload them first to a site like photobucket and then copy and paste the image tag for forums to here. |

The easiest way most of us have found to post pics is... Upload your pics to photobucket (or similar), then copy the link to the photo and post the link in your message here. You MUST surround (before and after) the link with Img by clicking Img button just above the box you are typing your message in.
