But only because I blew it up. Epic Timmay moment.

So it needs a new motor, or a bunch of parts which I haven't bothered to price up. Someone can just take it away; I don't have the heart to fix it myself.

Heh.

With a bit of patience, folks, even if you don't want to make it run again, you could easily part it out on TardMe and/or eBay for over a grand. New tyres, chain and sprockets, clutch kit, bodywork, frame, wheels, forks and rear shock, plush aftermarket seat... the DR BIG owners on ADVrider would cream their panties.

I just can't be arsed.

(Might just post that paragraph to the auction, too.)

(Done. Edited slightly for lols. I must link to it over on advrider.)

I know where there's an engine that will suit to a T ... a Yamaha even ... :lol:
