Ok, so the only thing we haven't tried yet is buying a bike at auction. So we trotted along to HJ Pugh in Ledbury to see what we could find. Sadly everything else was out of our meagre budget - except a tasty looking CR125 - wow, its a twinshock, so why not get another one to accompany our Project RM. Hey, it made sense at the time...

	Now, this looks like a basically sound bike, most of the engine bits seem intact
	Look a little closer and you might notice a little sand, maybe its been standing outside, you know they've been doing a little bit of building etc...until you take the petrol cap off and see...
	A tank full of sand, no wonder we couldn't lift the thing. Can't wait to see just how far the sand has got into the engine. How does a tank get this full of sand, does our bike have an interesting Paris Dakar history or is it due to a five year old with a bucket and spade?
	Forks, yokes, wheels, hell of a bargain for £100
	The shocks are weeping gently (for the rest of the bike probably) and even we won't be able to bodge a seat out of the remaining base.
	Hmmmm, think the forks might need rechroming, just for the cosmetics you understand, look structurally sound, or should we use the sand in the tank to sandblast them.
	The gentle patina of age...
	All packed up and ready to go - will it ever turn a wheel in anger?
