These two vintage velocette LE200's (1960's)were part of John's history and he bought these years ago with some vague reason of just owning them! He never rode them. One went and the other didn't. In Britain they were known as the "Noddy bike" The local cop motored around sedately and quietly and nodded to all and they nodded back!
Thankful for:'
The local motorbike dealer found out about them, came up and met John's low price and was so enthusiastic. They go to a good home!
Good to see they are going to another enthusiast.. and local so John can check them out.. Today outside M10 was a sausage sizzle put on by the local bikers to fundraise to go to the Burt Munro in Invercargill..
How satisfying to know that they will be used somewhere by someone who will appreciate them. We have several things like that around our house that are never going to be used as well! They are not being offered for sale yet here!
That's the best way to "get rid of things"- pass them on to someone who truly appreciates them. I have so many things that I should do that with! Good shot to document the passage!
it's always a good thing when you own something you love and it's time it goes somewhere else, and it goes to someone who would treat it with the same love and care as you would. i, too, am slowly downsizing. i don't like the idea of selling my stuff because i know i paid good money for them. but last year i started donating some major items to our church bazaar and they sold for a good sum and i was happy. too bad we won't have the same thing this year because of the pandemic. some of my books will be going to the philippines as my nephew loves to read and he has his own home so that's where most of my books will go. take care, maggiemae.
@summerfield I just threw a bag of clothes into the rubbish bin, Vikki
! They have been in another bag for years and now have sawdust all over them. Don't think anyone would want them!
