can you polish a turd

The one I posted is an RSV Milie with a Featherbed style frame and the rad is under the seat.

I should have paid more attention to that bike

Having owned a few bikes with featherbed frames many years ago I should have spotted the similarities

Who ever built that bike certainly looks like they did a good job

I polished mine

Have not been on for a long while
And I can post pictures

Is that a C15 Baz?

Well spotted Kev

That must be a hoot to punt about after the storm

Right hand gears
Brake light only works with rear brake
No suspension
And no brakes
Cracks me up every time I ride it
Pops and bangs better than the storm

I thought I recognised the power lump as Kev did
My very first real motorcycle was a BSA C15, although mine had proper suspension unlike yours which looks like has been modified into a rigid back-end.

I was in my very early teens so I could only ride it legally off road. Lucky for me we grew up on a farm so plenty of fields to ride in. I wish I still had it now,

This is why I say it
This is how I got it
Over four years it has cost me
But the question is have I polished a turd

The answer to that question in my view is, if the bike gives you pleasure and enjoyment, whether you're working on it or riding the bike, or polishing it then it was worth the expense, so yes you can.
The only thing I'd say for a point of value, it would probably be worth more if it was standard, although I don't think the C15 is fetching big money atm,

The bike makes me laugh my head off, so I can now say I polished a turd
And I love it
Sorry for bombing the thread

I can fully imagine the C15 is a complete contrast change to the Storm

My apologies too for the thread high-jack,

Chris.
