GTAm Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 HelRazor said: there's also a 250cc MVA(not sports) belonging to a retired manager of singer living in yakkala,he also has a norton manx.you're better off importing a new bike rather than restoring these old relics mate,unless u like classics. i did consider an augusta before getting the aprilia but the only available one was the F4 750,that was bloody expensive and rare. Anyway tell me if u need any help,those of us that are brave enough to go for italian(specially in sri lanka) need to stick together Interesting to learn that there are a few here..... Yes. I want a new(ish) one. Have spent too much time and money on old Alfa Romeos to go through the same with bikes Anyway I'm not very much into bikes and have a lot to learn. Had just one when I was 18 a Honda MBX 125 for a few years, after learning to ride on a clapped out Suzuki 125 twin. Enjoyed the whole concept of virtually living on a bike but the damn thing broke down so often . Somehow I've never warmed up to Dukes for some reason. And have always thought highly of Yamahas. But after reading up a bit I had to take note of MV As 75 rider and manufacturers titles and 270+ Gran Prix wins. It's like the Alfa of bikes so it must be great. Yeah I dream of an F4. Was thrilled to see Batman (ok Bruce Wayne) ride one in The Dark Night! Once my cars are done I'll certainly look at one and will need your help for sure. Unless the stock market is very kind to me it should be at least a years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devinda_Z Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 too many reflections on the bonnet me thinks - distracts & then detracts from the beauty of the car liking the background (courtyard of some sort? ) though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDon Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 automaniac said: who do u'r installation o restoration there is no particular person we give or cars to,mechanical,tinkering,painting,upholstery,are done by "pro's" specialising in each area at our house....the fitting(meters,dashboard and stuff) is mostly done by me on my free time,so are all the basic painting excluding the final finishing coat. stuff like the chrome work,wiring are done at very trustworthy shops. so if you need someone to for any particular job i'd be happy do reccomend one of my people to you ..but i have to warn you that these dudes are very good but also very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
