    i brought an original 1969 H1 500 kwaka that had come from the cook islands once, i also had a mate that had a AMC single that he restored, there rear brake pedal looked like new, it wasn't, he got it from the mud people in south africa and reckons it had never been ridden with footwear.

    There is a Porsche 911 turbo on Norfolk island. That forced a chuckle, esp after looking at the series of potholes there joined by scrap roading.

    Rear set hangers made from bits of plate, $12 levers, still has its headlights and standard fairings.

    It's not worth $11k
    contra: spare wheels with discs and warmers, paddock stands and it looks tidy in the bodywork and so forth. You'd want a compression test and to look under that tank and fairings...

    I love the look and sound of Harleys too - but I have ridden the pigs and it is highly unlikely I will ever own one.

    Ha ha, thank you Pritch! Haven't really left just busy running my business & playing with crazy cars, with the odd bike here n there on the side. Attached is my latest weapon......582hp with700nm torque from its 6.2L N/A AMG V8 & sporting a rather unique Skepple designed vinyl wrap. Heaps more photo's & burnout vids on my Instagram & FB account (Mag & Turbo New Lynn).

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Thanks mate. Was a lot of fun designing it & even more fun driving it! I had my head technician put a straight through exhaust off its DPE long tube headers, apocalyptic levels of noise!

    Attached is my last one.....a WW2 Stuka Bomber! This one didn't have the long tube headers but was tuned so only 520hp.
