Went for my daily 2 mile walk early today.
Did a slight detour past the skip on the farm.
Bingo.
Sallys grandson already likes it.
Tonight after work, she popped in for a quick dinner and then headed home.
Two minutes after leaving she called me.
I thought oooopps…… what now.
She had pulled up in a lay by up the road, may e a mile away.
“Do you want a free bike” she asked.
I said yes, of course.
I thought pedal bike, and said yes, as I would just pass it on to someone who needs one.
She confessed that she did not know what type is was, but described that it was where the big, rich houses were.
So I grabbed the Focus keys and drove up there.
Yup, there. It was, parked at the intersection with a label attached “FREE!” So I went in to the second house and spoke to a Nigerian lady, who said it was from the 4th house.
So I drove there, knocked and spoke to thefather of the owner.
Seems that they are relocating, and were busy clearing out their house and toys. There was a large skip on the drive that I did not inspect.
However, he did say the bike was recently serviced and ran well. Just surplus to requirements.
So I went back home after pushing it down the lane and out of direct sight of the main road, removed the sign and went next door to see if Mickey was in, he was, but curled up asleep on his recliner, probably incapacitated.
So I ran upstairs and asked David, the one lodger if he would help me load it.
Oh yes, after the initial discussion, Sally had said it was a black motorbike.
So I grabbed the S10 and and we drove the mile down the road and loaded the orphan child.
It is a WK Bikes Trial 125cc
Front and rear disc brakes, electric start, set up for off road with knobblies fitted.
I got home, unloaded it and parked it.
Due to failing light and increasing mosquito activity.
So we mentioned FREE CASH before.
As found.
CDI system.
Electric start.
Unloaded.
Parked up.
I will try start it tomorrow or when I get time.
Who knows.
It could be a nice little toy.
