Columbo Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 0 replies in the bar Moved here in the hopes of some help. My friend Andre is looking for a bike. He's 20 in a few weeks and I was either looking into getting him a bike (Would have to be dirt cheap) or helping him find a bike. Does anyone have any suggestions as to WHAT bike he could get nice and cheap? Does anyone know where to get said bike in london? Much love to you all!
Moderator Airhead Posted October 20, 2011 Moderator Posted October 20, 2011 how about a YBR125? great little bikes but as for cheap I dunno, thats for you to find one
Columbo Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 I'm talking like DIRT cheap! Also, if anyone has an old 125 in their garage?

Columbo Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Prolly but I dont get paid until next week =P
2 Wheels Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Just to let ya know,,,,,,, if ya get a dirt cheap bike for your mate there will be work need to do on it. So ye have 2 options,,,,,,,,,1) buy cheap bike, spend as much again fixing it up,,,,,,,,2) save for a half deecent bike that needs no work.
Columbo Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Sadly, I just saw him today and he's in a bit of a state.... Ex-girlfriend being a bitch, got offered a job but cant take it or his mother loses her benefits (that she relies on)(Legitimately sick and unable to work)(Caring for 2 children)(He's doing most of the caring) He wont have money to fix it up and he wont have money for a mechanic.... I was gonna buy him a haynes manual to go with the bike and let him use my garage and tools. He'll benefit for the hands on work He'll enjoy the work Anyways, he's my best mate in the whole world and I wanna do something epic for him. I'd love anyone who could help forever! Point me towards a cheap bike!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted October 22, 2011 Moderator Posted October 22, 2011 You could always give him your bike.

Columbo Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 I see your point.... I'm a nice guy, just not that nice of a guy hehe
neversaydie Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 He's no money to fix a bike up He's no money to buy a bike He's no income Without income, he wont be able to afford to run the bike (tax/insurance/mot/fuel) From the content of previous posts, it appears that his mothers benefits are keeping him then I conclude the best chance of him beng able to afford a motorcycle is for him to take employment
Columbo Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 neversaydie. you raise good points. The problem is, his mother is sick and NEEDS the benefits. he cant get a job or she loses those benefits. So he needs a house. Cant get a house without a job... FUCK THE SYSTEM!
