So, I find myself down in S Spain sorting out a mates life as he's had a stroke, unlikely he'll use his tools or bike again.
His wife has asked me to sort out the Innova for sale, which so far has involved a carb strip and rebuild, clean the brakes up a bit and tart up the bodywork a bit as it was RAF!
Local Brico didn't have any matt black, so satin it is!
Just been to check on things, one side is ok, guessing there's some contamination on the other, even after a good sanding!
Bugger!

They're a great little bike,the Innova. I had some fun on mine.

Sorry to hear about your mate,it happened to one of mine too.

I took it out for a shakedown yesterday, quite surprised at how 'sprightly' the little beast is.
Got a GPS logged 67mph with a stiff tailwind.
Who needs a rev counter when you have a gear indicator!

It's the champ of little roundabouts. The thing is so light you just keep it pinned and it flows through without even having to lean much.

If any of our Spanish contingent are after a shonker
€1000 with 19 months ITV.

Is that a proper Givi Trekker top box or a knock off?

probably worth selling separately for maximum profit if it's a kosher one.

That would make a brilliant shopping runabout for France...

For me or for you?

I'm banned from buying another bike!

For me - only problem is getting it re-registered in France and me being a non-resident...

It also opens up a can of worms as I know Mrs Mango would covet it for use in the UK...

We did our fiesta as non resident. Paid someone to fill the forms in (€100) and we were immatriculated.
As it's already EU reg, no QF to do, just a dealer inspection and fill in the forms.

Hmmmm, might need to give that some thought. I got the Lancia immatriculated as a non-resident, but that was pre-Brexit.

Is QF 'quittance fiscale'? I take it that means there's no customs charge to pay on the vehicle?

That is correct
