The one that I was always surprised of the fate of was this one:
This was my winter hack and default 'everything else has stopped working' bike for 19 years. As you can probably tell its not really just one bike. I actually had four of these, 3 acting as donors to keep the 4th running:-)
In the end I advertised it as a $1 auction just to save myself having to take it to the scrap. Quite surprisingly it ended up going for $350 (which is more than I'd paid for all 4 bikes).
The guy who bought it said he was planning to do a full restoration! - Why?!
Wouldnt mind knowing about the condition now of a blk/red/white RG500 i sold around 2003 to a guy in dunedin with only 7200kms on the clock,more so whether he rode it or stored it..
About 3 weeks ago sold 2 wrecked scooters on trade me to a guy, as i was moving towns,currently couch surfing at a mates before i head off.Woke up the the first morning here and looked out the kitchen window and theres one of the scooters i sold,his flatmate had just brought it off the guy i sold it to on trade me lol
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
