RR had your name on a sticker on the tank !!!!

NC29 is expensive ... on old tyres - no fancy wheels and needs an overhaul.

If only Clive could guarantee whats inside the engine .... or take offers.

£1200? Surely the micron exhaust and FCR's with airbox are worth most of that alone!

Having been all over this bike - it has Manx stickers - NOT TT - but has genuine HRC headers and FCRs / Airbox.

Trick forks - nice WP shock.

That's it ... UNLESS the engine is full of goodies ....

Do I take a gamble ?

I dunno. A friend of mine bought anRD 350LC with 0.3 miles on the clock from them for £2200 a couple of years ago.

You have to be patient and determined to barter with Mr Padgett :peace:

I agree - I'm going to continue negotiations with his daughter who does the web sales......

I'll let you know how I get on.

Live once ... have fun is my motto - so lets see.

Where have you got this idea that it's got a micron exhaust?

Just assuming from the End can. I know Micron did HRC copies of exhaust systems i.e I think the NC30 had one.

Edit just noticed the ad says its HRC
