Ballacraine Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 ...Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to retain something on the off chance it might come in useful one day...or face the slings and arrows of ebay! ( Sorry, Bill ) I just had a rather rewarding experience this weekend. Whilst clearing out the shed to find some paint to redecorate with, I came across a sorry looking sidestand which I acquired on a write off Le Mans 2 back in the early eighties. Now the Morini 350 Sport I bought a few months back didn't have a sidestand. It was an optional extra back in the seventies. As the bike new was only about 30 quid short of the price of an 850 Commando, I think very few folk sprung ( ) for one. TBH It is so light to get on the centrestand, it doesn't really need one, but I thought I would give it a whirl.... Half an hour later I had a Morini fitted with a sidestand which looks the part and works well enough too. Well chuffed with this result! Normally I find a use for things a couple of weeks after I dump / flog 'em! <_> Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have a whole garage full of things that might come in useful. That's why the V11 is back outside again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
