Fresh off the container...

When we got home from collecting Rensche's bike I once again got a feeling in me waters to have a look in Biketrader and low and behold there was another XR250 and it was just round the corner at Conquest Motorcycles in Wimborne. The next morning I phoned them at 8:45am and ask them to keep the bike for me till lunchtime. I popped across to them and took the bike for a spin. It was in immacualte condition and had just come off a container and was not yet registered. I put down a deposit there and then. The owner said that he had recieved 3 keen calls about the bike after I had called and was surprised at the recent interest shown in these bikes. He also told me he too was waiting for the 'phantom' container from Japan so just as well we didn't wait for it to arrive. The bike is being registered so I will collect it next week.
