Wasted a whole day

Post by PHILinFRANCE »

I sold the Black Pig the othe day and have been trawling the net and shops for my next bike ..............Huskys, KTMs and even BMWs !!!

Well FCUK EM ALL !!!! i'm sick to death of looking and the ridiculous amounts of money folk want for them.

Are these highly tuned fancy coloured bike REALLY WORTH that much ????

Bloody things drink more oil than BSA , seems you can only ride them for half an hour before they need YET ANOTHER SERVICE

SO RANT OVER :laugh: i'm going for a PORTUGESE BIKE :whistle:

bloody good bikes those ajp...i road with gavinski recently and was impressed..handled everything easily..loved narrow muddy farm fields (thumbs) ..right tyres and you`ll love it..

so lite he carried it on the back of a estate car.. ;) ...

before you coplain about the suspension ask the seller his weight.. :whistle: you`ve never had proper suspension before..it does need setting up for your weight and where you ride..compression/rebound etc..plenty on web or get MrX over ;)

Yeah mine's the PR4 200. I love it, so simple and easy to ride.

Not sure if you do Facebook Phil, but there is the AJP Owners Club UK which is a friendly little group sharing info etc.

The main man in the UK is Craig Whitney - go and drop in and have a look around.
