GT Pantera with XTR M900….

Missed it by about a minute! Some guy was about to put it in his car. I must get to the tip earlier on the weekend!

Feel for you man, that's one hell of a good tip you got there!

There was also a minty, mint DMR - I also missed that.

Honda mowers, Stihl stuff, antiques, it all ends up binned in Surrey. Thank goodness they set up shops at the tip. It has to be the best business model, free stock, changes by the minute, no warranty, sold as seen.

That's a much more enlightened & progressive attitude, nice to hear from both my retro-coolness loving and environmentally-less-damaging perspectives. Our old haunts in Cheshire had a strict no-removal policy only bypassed by the scrap metal man on a cash in hand, out of the way of the cameras basis. Anything electronic or antique-y was sadly destined to end it's days in a container full of similar materials, unless one was to "accidentally" drop it in the boot.

Our transfer station had a 'shop' where cool stuff was sold, then the Plandemic shut it down.

Our tip now wont sell.....well pretty much anything.....they have a reuse centre, but health and safety means no electricals, no bikes, no petrol stuff (lawnmowers etc), no glass in furniture and no soft furniture without a fire tag!

So basically nothing.

All due to the risk of some tit buying a scrapped bike then riding it and the wheel falling out.....HELLO! Common sense......oh no, I forgot, they don't make that any more!
