Had one myself after someone drove over my burner :LolLolLolLol: Quite a bit better to ride obviously, and would happily resto one myself, nice pick up :daumenhoch:

Bloody hell bud with how heavy and solid burners were was it a tank that ran over yours

:LolLolLolLol: You're not too far wrong, was actually a tractor! Best part was that I got the insurance pay out from the farmer, then also from the Halfords bike insurance :daumenhoch: Hence the 'upgrade' :-\ to the Blue Max, which ended up being a lovely ride after a few component changes

Just goes to show that having what seems like bad luck can be turning in to good luck.
