Bad news is, I received an email from spencer at Bridge Moto telling me he's sorry but he accidentally sold my bike to someone else without realising.
I have no idea what went on, is going on or indeed what to do next. Deposit returned and awaiting bank statement to confirm. Has anyone bought from Bridge before? Hope martin(the Clark) doesn't have a similar surprise.
I will start looking for another new DR as I now know I don't want a twenty year old restoration project. Maybe a new KTM is the way after all.

Would a low mileage, A1 condition 20 year old bike be of any interest ?
This one has just come up for sale near me for £1,995
It is in Jersey so 20% VAT will need to be added on import to UK and it will need to be re-registered. It's a genuine 2 owner from new bike and the mileage is accurate. Message me if you are interested and I can get more photos and info.

Sorry for late reply but too much money for such an old bike especially if I would have to lump tax on as well but thank you for the heads up.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
