    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?!

    Because it's old, and if it has a live rego that's half the battle won already.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
