That's not a bad idea, there is always one.
Don't even bother with spraying Hammerite the stuff
Far to far gone for saving... New tyres 150 ? Battery 30 - 40 ? The forks batterd & the stanchions are rusty & pitted + blown a seal 100 + to sort. Don't know yet if the tank is rusty...? Has ACCT on it 40. Wheels need paint 20 in paint plus endless wet n dry or pay to have them blasted & painted £ ??? The starter looks well coroded...

So the story is the guy bought it off ebay some 10 + years ago but as only 5' 2'' he decided it was too big & never really rode it, parked it up under a builders bag & left it to rot basicaly... He decide he needed to get something positive done as was feeling a bit low what with lockdown & what not so stuck it on FB for £400... I contaced him & said if no one bags it i'll give you £300 fot it... He came back quite quickly saying yes you can have it for that... He has since been back in touch & found some other bits, cover the postage & they are yours...
