1986 BMW R80(RT) FOR SALE.

I have decided to part with my 1986 BMW R80(RT) Monolever. Which lost its full fairing etc in some earlier life! I acquired it 2007 and stored it until 2013 when it was extensively re-commissioned. New tyres; brakes; stainless pipes; cables; hoses; mirrors; Surefoot sidestand; battery. Everything that could be done, was sorted properly. Really good, comfortable and reliable runner. Nothing needs doing. Mechanically great. Paintwork is tired and has the usual ‘fairing marks’. MoT to March 2019. £1850 but will take reasonable offer from MZRC member.

Also available a complete fairing, with all brackets & bits, for an R80RT, although it will need painting; and a replacement screen. Even the headlamp glass has survived intact. Also BMW Panniers with brackets.

Message or call me direct on 07711 248138 (Ripley, Derbyshire)

TRIKE WANTED FOR PHOTO SHOOT

Friends at Newark, Notts Photographic Club are seeking someone with a Trike for a photo shoot, on a date & location (near Newark) to be decided. Some expenses are paid (not a lot!) but you can get some nice photos of your Trike with & without the model which they provide.

See attached photo which I think they are looking to emulate, using the same model.

Anyone with a Trike who is interested please contact me & I will put you in touch with the Club organiser.

Solo’s & sidecars are no good, which lets me out!!!

‘A Large Helping of Yorkshire Pudding’

Does anybody have a copy of Wilf Green’s first autobiography book ‘A Large Helping Of Yorkshire Pudding’ to sell or loan me. I have been unable to find a copy at a sensible price!

I have his second book ‘A Second Helping…’ which I read some years ago. I rather wanted to read both, the second book for a second time.

‘A Second Helping….’ will be available for loan later, if anybody is interested.
