More for the chairisti :)

I know George is minted, but he hasn't progressed to printing his own
yet. Or is it blackmail material?

This is an old lady-boss of mine, and I don't mean Cath either. I swore
an oath to protect this one, I did a different type of swearing with
Cath.

How's the sale going, then?

 

If you're not too far from the road to Harwich, we can do something en
passant.

(Aside to Company of Imbeciles: I'll chloroform him, strap his bitch arse to
the luggage rack and smuggle him onto the ferry for Surprise
Elefantentreffen.)

 

Not bad. I've got a few large bits left like the exhaust, bodywork,
frame, forks and wheels. The bloke who bought the engine bought a lot
of the rare parts (your 'price guide' came in handy for that). Most of
the rest will go on ebay tonight so I can hopefully clear a lot of it
when I'm back.

 

Wheels - if the chrome is good, you might do OK. If it's in any way
pitted or faded, better to cut through the spokes and advertise the hubs
alone. People can then just get them re-spoked and re-rimmed while
keeping their existing bike on the road, like I did with the SL.

The exhaust will fetch really, really good money, assuming there are no
rotten bits or holes. New ones are now about £450 inc. VAT.

 

TBH I can't be arsed, especially as the tyres are still legal. Even the
Motosport wheels didn't fetch that much money so if someone give me
some more for them and they're gone, I'd be happy.

It doesn't have any holes, just some surface rust. Mostly the usual
pockmarks...

Most importantly, the collector box is good and shows no signs of
impending holiness. And I made sure that I point out in the auction
that it's a genuine exhaust and how much Dave Silver wants for a new
one.

 

Argh. That should've read 'some money'.

 

Ah my head was in the clouds. 250E I meant but I was thinking it would take
my 400C engine! different exhaust coupling though. I had forgotten there
was an F.

 

That's me that is.
