I hope this is as good a bargain as it seems....

Because I've bought it.....

The seat's been re-covered and the front guard is iffy, but the rest
of it looks amazingly presentable.

 

Looks typical condition for something that's stood for ages.

If I was ever going to buy a "before my time" Jap bike, it'd be one of
these.

 

Good price.

There's a red one for sale at a dealers near us, he wants "..summat over 2
grand..". He can want all he likes, I reckon.

 

Trust me: after you've had a spin on mine, you'll be scouring Fleabay
yourself.

 

I thought so, yes. There's a grand's worth of parts there if I decide
to break it.

To be fair, if it's a real minter, that's about what they go for
privately.

 

More like a munter than a minter. Not original exhausts, seat, mudguards
and the clocks don't look right either. Might get a pic or three of it next
time I'm passing. I'd guess a lot of it's been replaced for pattern or
after-market parts, so to my way of thinking whilst it may run well etc it
isn't worth a lot. I'd prefer original slightly soiled than clean
after-market. 'Specially on something like this.

 

I've already got a list of "must haves"[1], along with a lot of "like to
own for a bit"[2], but I need to move house and get a bigger garage
before all that[3]


[1] RGV, 916
[2] TDR, B12, and I'll add 400/4
[3] Next year, or I'll be moving into my mates garage

 

Oh *nicely* done that monotreme.

Does look good for the money.

 

In fact, he's the one and only!

He's taking the piss, then.

Do that. I could use a laugh.

Correct again.

 

I've been whooshed here. What's he done?

 

Click the link, YTC.

 

Ah. What a clever little monotreme...

 

you said "monotreme" there in a tone which made it sound like "****".

twas nicely done though. I wonder how long that gag's been waiting in the
wings?

 

I rather thought that was the case...
