A bit old, but I thought I would conclude this one. After travelling all over the place, I finally bought a Green Machine, seemed ok, until I got it back and realised I had bought a lemon. After spending the best part of another £2k (120 new parts) and about 100 hours on refurbishment, we ended up with a good machine which is now working. Never mind, lesson learnt.
Many thanks to all who answered post.
Question, has anyone else ventured into this industry?
