I bought a Ducati 600TL a couple of weeks ago off Gumtree, didn't run and had been stood for some time, negotiated a price of $2,000. Took her back to mine and spent all day giving her a good detail, sold her on Sunday afternoon for $4,500, still didn't get her running!

So with that I've set a search up on Gumtree and click on it three times a day, Wednesday night this popped up! The girl who was selling it was fed up with bikes and hadn't used it for a couple of years. Managed to steal it off her for $2,000, the good thing about this bike is its LAMS approved (Aussie thing, basically its approved for learners) which is a bonus!
The fuels off and she needs a new battery, but she's very clean, going to give her the once over full degrease and detail and shove her on eBay and Facebook, should double me money.




The money that I make goes towards a certain Zed in the UK

Thats a sweet little bike, sadly after my GSXR750 foray I'm just too fat for a crotch rocket!
Wish I could spot a bargain and sell it... I just tend to buy and keep

I would like to keep all the bikes but I'm just not "into" Ducati's, saying that I have quite a few being left to me when my old mate pop's it!

I'll post a picture on Saturday afternoon once I've finished.

I had a picture of Pantah 500 on my wall in my room when I was in the RAF (early days). Itwas from superbike so came with boobs.
She asked if I was embarrased by it? i said "no, its a good bike"

A few years pass and we were at a bank function and one of her male colleagues was prattling on about the "birds" and why I was looking "so bored" (let's be fair, bank managers can be a bunch of wankers)
My wife chips in, "if it doesn't have two wheels, he probably won't be interested! "
