Hi All,
im a noob who is looking for a scrambler , off road bike.

Im actually looking for something that would need to be repaired, a fixer upper so to speak, from a scrapyard or whereever, reasons are cause im not looking to spend much money and im doing a degree in mechanical engineering and i kind of good at fixing things

any info on where i could look etc would be great, havent a clue as it is!

thx

City Spares in Palmerstown sell all sorts of fixer-upper stuff. My advice would be to buy a four stroke 250-600 traillie style road bike rather than an old two stroke scrambler but it depends what you are going to use it for. Old non-running stuff tends to take a lot of dosh to get going and then breaks your heart - if you get a rusty old KLE, Dominator or Transalp it might look like crap but it'll never stop running unless you put soup in the engine instead of oil. Most bike shops have a selection of junkers out the back and are delighted to sell them as field bikes without warranty.

Don't forget you need a helmet, boots and gloves (and think about a body protector if you are doing anything lairy)

Don't fall off.
