hello im bas de jong
since yesterday im the proud owner of a '84 vf1000f which will be used for a 500 euro challenge after that who knows ?

Welcome to the forum,it looks like you have a real challenge on your hands.
What is involved in the €500 challenge?
Obviously the budget is 500,but does that include any work needing done after buying the bike?
Is there a route to complete and is it for a charity?
Regards Bif
Hi Bas, Bif is asking my questions too.

Brave man,check out the link,I can’t read Dutch but the pictures tell the story.
I don’t think I would have the time to prepare this for the 2016 challenge!!!
Regards Bif
I’m thinking the Challenge is actually " buy for less than 500 euros the worst bike you can find and get it running and road legal in 1 year" My hat goes off to him.
you buy a bike older than 20 years have a budget of 150 euro . the difference between 500 euro and the money you bought it for will be defided by 2 and added to the budget .
you are not allowed to have owned the bike for more than a year prior to entering the challenge
brakes and tires are not subject to the budget (safety first)
in june the group is going to ride through europe ( about 4000 km )
here points will be given for multiple disiplines. the person who got the most points wins
Good luck Bas. Is it only for Dutch people ?
