my old bx

Post by rodney68 »

went to work last night and my old bx was outside so went to have a chat with owner seems he has nowt but trouble with it since he bought it off me,what i thought was a reliable if slightly tatty bx quickly turned sour,he has invested in ;
2 x clutches,2 height corrector rebuilds,2 front spheres,acc sphere,several pipes and approx 10 litres of lhm,with the mot and tax he said this was nearly a grand but he loves it so it was worth it.
