Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a

Seems he was very honest about the bike and it does read that he was
relaying what someone else had told him.

I'm not questioning his honesty, just his competence. A deler who thinks
a BMW K is carburetted is a dealer I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot
pole, even if he has accurately described the bike.

Looks like it's been carefully stored in a canal. All it really needs is a
chair...

"I have just been informed that the reason it was taken off the road is
there is a short on the wiring loom, not leaking carbs."

You've only got to look at his spelling and grammar for a start . . .

Mind you, he has been honest and shown how much of a shitbox it is, I
was looking at the photos and trying to think of what you could
actually use off it for spare parts. Not a lot I would think.
