Lot of money, why don't you just get a decent wooden bench, 6/8" vice, Buff, roll cab and toolbox, and compressor.... way cheaper than any of them

Get a bench online for under 200 quid

Real men waste money on kit they don't need, can't use! [emoji1787]

See our bikes for an example

Here's where I got mine, they do up to 8ft.

Mine was a 6ft, the extra 2ft would have came In handy when working on larger parts..

You could kit out your garage with all of the above for less than one of those metal units.. put your savings toward a lift. The two things I'd buy first are exactly that bench and a lift..

I guessed that was the case Alex[emoji3]

Reminds me of a friend who?s wife wanted them to move to Cyprus to live.
He said find me a garage with a house attached and we?ll go!
She did and they moved, taking his motorbikes with them. Been there years now[emoji4]

sad times......did anything out of normal wear and tear happen on it while you had it.

If so what mileage etc

Mines only on 4k but i wonder.

Nothing I can remember. I have the memory of a goldfish and there may be something in this thread, but ultimately I've no nightmares. No recalls. No mystery faults. No breakdowns.
She took all I threw at her like a champ.
The RS2E map was installed March 2019. I've forgotten what it was like before that. With it, it drank fuel but damn it was fast...and it didn't lunch the engine.
The bike is on 11,898 miles so at 6 years and 12k miles it seemed like a good time to try something new...

So Alex, what is the replacement?

 

[oldwobbler]

COME ON!!!! I cant hold my breath much longer. Gen 5, you must be the first on here to get one?? Enjoy :eagerness:

Ha, oh yeah that crash bung decided to make a break for it. I'd blame the tool riding it more than the bike...all issues have been self inflicted!
Hope you're well chap.

I'm good thanks Alex (just catching up on the forum). What did you get in the end? I'm going to get a run-around in the next couple of weeks. In fact I'll post a new thread asking for advice on this...
