    you and me both. In fact I refuse to refer to machinery with a human pronouns. They are machines, they're "it" not "she" or "he".

    While I don't name every piece of equipment I use.
    There are a few who most definitely have a female personality. They can tell you what's wrong but often in a way to keep you guessing.

    I can't get it going for some reason. Yeah like the reason is it's fucked and put itself out of its own misery. World's heaviest trials bike.
    I daren't look too close, the colour of that tank and the fittings on the fork caps look horribly familiar...
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    By definition he's not an optimistic seller but it's a pretty good gauge of how much interest there is in this stuff at the moment.
    I like everything except the pipes. Nice bike.

    Same. Other than the exhaust I don't mind that. At least the seat's the right colour

    Agree. He's been trying to sell it for $7500 for a wee while but he saw sense, dropped the thing to start = reserve and is letting it go.

    I reckon if you could own it for at or around $5k you would be doing well.

    That bobber has potential at the start price.

    Needs a bit to complete.

    Jockey shift on the right side? Nar - there is a reason they run them on the left.


    I'll be interested in what it goes for.

    Gee whiz, it sure is a good thing that 70's Hondas aren't in any way desirable or collectable.. Fucking hell

    I will make a bold statement and declare that this motor is running on a minimum of 2 cyls. Sounds like a cb200
