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...

Plan A is to put a battery on it just to get the milage up then start stripping it down.

Already sold the mirrors to Andy next door... £10 down just £427 to go to get me money back... :lol: :lol:

I may have just aquired a £437 boat anchor... 8O :o 8O :o :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bjeebus it's proper minging...

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...

Deff needs a new front tyre...& you cant see the moss in this pic

Rusty 9.jpg

Rather bizarrely the guy who I bought it off didnt send the key with it, he's posting that onto me, which of course has not arrived today...

It's a good job I have a new can of Plus gas on the shelf... :lol: :lol:

Unfortunatly a previous owner has used cheap sh1t light ally Probolt bolts on the fairing & mud guard... These seize & round off really easily...Damm

Rusty 8.jpg

So last taxed nearly 11 years ago... :lol: :lol:

Wish me luck...please wish me luck... :lol: :lol:

There are some other bits that came with it as well, which is nice...
What did you expect for the money :wink:

I wish you a lot of luck Mac :thumbup:

Maybe, but I think many of us might have acted on it also.

It's what the real estate industry would describe as: 'Unique Opportunity - Renovator's Delight'.

You'll get there, keep chipping away and it's always the little things that can generate the cash
