Turned up at a custys today I have been doing his for 3 years I new he was not well but turned out he has died I always had a coffee and chat with him. Well family were the cleaning out house and told me. Any way the daughter shocked me by saying he enjoyed my visit each month and had put in his will forme to hhave his old collectable motor bike which we used to chat about with him saying it's worth 10000 pounds and she said if I want I should sell it what would you do as I am not interested in them to be honest.

grab it quick photos   on ebay,     have a smile and a drink  knowing you gave him company,  a lot of people dont have anyone to talk too.,  no good when your in a hurry to finish : :

That is a lovely story, and it is a credit to you to have taken the time to talk to him on each visit.

I am sure he would have wanted you to make good use of the bike.

same tbh

The daughter said you should sell it if you didn't want it - so do it without a bad conscience for doing it.

[robertphil]

youve got to ride it, at least the once

[Ben wood]

It's an old old triumph can't remember what model now will look in the morning and no chance of me riding it I would fall off the bloody thing and plus its only little and I weight 16 stone so would prob fall apart lol

Feels good to hear a nice story on here for a change, apart from the bloke dying that is.  Good for you mate.  Ive had plenty of cuppas with custys over the years, and the only tip I get; is 'get the corners next time'.

for sale peugoet xpert van 04 crewvan

might swap for triumph motor cycle  tacky

[wightsurf]

Or think of it another way. if it is worth alot ,just think what it will be worth in say 5 or 10 yrs time. I would polish it up and wrap and store,better than a pension

Is it 1950's or 1960's - if so then a 500 twin/triple cylinder or larger in good nick will be worth good money but not 10000 unless it is a concourse Bonneville or Trident.

Describe it on here - it might have a number such as T90; T100; T110; T120 on the side or if it's a littlun it might be Tiger Cub or Trophy.

Of course if its pre WW2 it might have some 5 figure value.

Maybe sell..

Keep half

and return half to the family for grand kids or something in a trust / savings ?

That would go down well

This is a fantastic story, especially after reading someones post about stopping and talking to old folks a couple of weeks ago. This story shows how much it means to these people and will hopefully give a few windys a bit of a nudge, especially this time of year. Look at the difference you can make on someones life, sometimes without even knowing it.
Is that a tear I can feel Joe.!!!??
