    eBay item 140406644052

    Potential runner with limited surprises, or a money pit?

    Anyone in that area who could have a look?

    Beware.

  3. 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.

  6. 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 shit.

    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 :))
