eBay item 140406644052

Potential runner with limited surprises, or a money pit?

Anyone in that area who could have a look?

That looks rather good, actually. A big screen and a pair of panniers
and you'd have a budget California. I'd expect it to sell for
£1800-1900.

It is indeed. Far nicer than (say) Commando ownership I'd have thought.

I liked the comments telling the Krauts to FRO ;o)

Bad form etc

But I forgot to add, has anyone noticed the really immaculate 1000 Convert
also in ebay. 260598162023
Really nice to add to a small collection. I'm in declutter mode
unfortunately.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Hog"

Awkward ****, iow.
What possible difference could it make to him, where it goes? If a
Boxhead buys it it'll probably stay on the road anyway - just as much as
any UK purchaser would use it.

You really talk some ****.

It's 32 years old - anything, Brit, Jap, German, will all be showing
their age. I've had less trouble with my 31 year old Guzzi than younger
Jap UJMs.

It looks like a nice tidy T3.

It has the nicer early seat, desirable CEV headlight and alloy generator
cover, nice alloy Boranni spoked wheels, Koni shocks and stainless
exhausts.

I'd put lower bars on it.

Unfortunately, it don't look like I'll be able to compete in the bidding
for it :-((

But it would be nice if it ended up in the care of someone in this
Parish.

I thought that as well. If I were to pilot it, as it is, my elbows would
end up being flexed more than my knees on the Ducati :-))
