Anyone watch this?
I couldn't believe the guy just handed over £1400 for an XT500 that he didn't even try to kick.
Apart from that he rides a nice restored CB550K.

Good old Henry Cole, thought this guy was a bit of a tosser when i first saw him on telly :-\, now i've seen him a few times on his travel programs i think he's ok ;), cheers Mick.

Yeah I watched it.After spending all that money getting it done up whats the first thing he did?Ride it through the mud BERK.
I know its on off road but straight after restoration come on.I worked on those buggers bitch to get going if you did not line the cam dot up,
got kicked back more than once.

That must be in the second part I haven't seen yet. It must be great to be able to just throw money at stuff. :o

I watched this with my wife :)
She said "how much for that old bike then?"
Me: "£500 max"
£1400! There's one born every minute.
I also hate the Motad on his "fantastic" CB550 resto...

Lesterpiglet,
Sorry if I spoiled it for you I saw this programme a couple of months ago and it was in two parts back to back.Even my olde lady commented on what he did and she is not keen about bikes.The second part same time next week.
Cheers

Oh dear, is it the same as mine?
-
They're not known as Moturds for nothing ;D ;D
When they get a few miles on them the header flanges snap off, I've lost count of the amount of them I've welded back together
-
There aren't many options for the 550. :( In fact that was the only option when I got it.
-
There's nothing inherently wrong with a Motad. They do the job, are quiet and affordable.
My issue is with the guy calling it "perfect"
It would have been good to see them fabricate a stainless 4-4 (after all, if they can afford £1400 for a barn find...)
-
Definitely, if I had his cash I would be looking for something unique.

Fixed that but I don't see any.

What a crap website!
To be honest, I'd take my custom to John Campbell in Orpington. I've been to his workshop, seen his stuff and would trust him to make me a stainless system.
I have his "Sidewinders" on my Tiger 1050 ;D
-
I think the link to photos of the 550 doesent work or no longer available OK for the 750 worth an email maybe?
Cheers
