I paid for a major rebuild of my BMW by going round my shed and putting al the old parts and shit on trade me ... I could not believe the prices idiots paid - like $45 for a BSA Bantam front brake activator lever and a rear brake pedal.
I didn't give a shit - everything paid for the rebuild AD a year's registration. .
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
BSA Bantam parts in the shed
At a swap meet years ago an old guy had a BSA Bantam in bits and I was in the next spot. He hassled me to buy it and I said no...no....no... as I was in Brit bike POS rehab.
Relented and gave him $175.00, took it home, loosely assembled it put it on TM and sold for $400.
Not a bad Sundays work.
( old story)
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Whereas you should have taken it out to the moors, dug a deep hole and driven a waratah or two through it and buried it under.
As a public service.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Fool. If he'd pipe wrapped that all the way up to the top of the headers he could have sold that for $12,995.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

...I love it and the price is only slightly more than I would want to pay. Having had immense fun on one and knowing how to make one go quicker without doing all kinds of mechanical shit to it makes me love it even more. One mans meat.... Heavier seat stays are cheap and easy. It would look good between the Hondas and Harleys...The wrap would go, and the bent end bit on the pipes...
Looks bloody awful. Still, looks aren't everything... as I was saying to my reflection the other day...
Side issue: why do people obscure the number plate? I know there was a problem 20 years ago with cheeky people changing ownership of other people's vehicles, but that issue was sorted out. So why?
High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...

"Cause previously if you asked at the Post Office they'd give you the address of the owner. That was in case you'd been in an accident and needed to contact the other party. Nowadays because people misused that facility and used it to steal bikes and cars, I understand that it has been withdrawn.
Now the miscreants advertise on Facebook "wanted to buy" and rob the prospective seller when they meet up to do the deal.

Yeah that's it, now I remember
Nowadays only insurance companies etc are allowed to get the info. So that's all good![]()
