[QUOTE="Lozzo"] 3 hours each way I reckon so not a huge amount of time. It'd definitely have the head off, repaired and back on in a day. Certainly not 600 quid. I still maintain you could do it with the head still on the bike, but obviously Steve, being a top-flight retail executive and reknowned motorcycle repair expert, knows better.[/QUOTE] I'm just being a cynic. The bike with that job done and an MOT is worth lots more than it's likely to go for - suggesting that the easy job has been priced up as something much more expensive than the auction makes it out to be.
