Hello from West Sussex

Hello from a new member on this forum. I haven't got a CRM yet but I'm working on it, and would be happy to hear from anyone with a decent bike for sale - especially if they aren't too far from West Sussex!

Best wishes to all,

Chris.

Welcome Chris

Good luck on the search for a CRM. If you haven't ridden one before, i think you will be impressed 8) Mick gives good advice, but that Slider's a nutter

(Bare in mind i say that cause i live about 300 miles away from him

But no doubt he's going to kick the livin shi* out of me at one of next years Rally's

Thanks everyone, for all the good wishes, very much appreciated. To answer rhysdad I would consider spending around £1300 - £1500 and would hope to get a reasonable Mk3 for that. Is that a realistic budget?
Best wishes to all, Chris.

at that sort of price range you should be able to pick up a decent mk3 or the odd ar mate

chrisb · Post by **chrisb** » 12 Nov 2007, 14:23

Slider, thanks for that, yes I hope I can get hold of a half decent bike around that price. The servicing and day-to-day fixing is fine by me, I'm looking forward to it. I'm just not sure I would fancy tackling a rebuild as an intro to CRM ownership. It's been a long time since I could be found under a car/bike with a workshop manual gripped between my teeth!
Still looking forward to it though!! Rgds Chris.

Chrisb ? is that Mr Duck ?

sorry No offence, Slider's the one that usually upsets the Newbies, thought i'd get in before him....

probably doesn't help matters that i listen to terry wogan of a morning

welcome to the forum mate, i'm still waiting to get my CRM, had me eye on a couple, but the old stash keeps getting spent on other things.

Hi Davey Munroe, thanks for the welcome. It looks like forum members are to be found right across the country! I'm still working on getting hold of a bike, I'll post here when I am successful in finding a decent one.
All the best, Chrisb.
