Hey, you sound like you're stripping things off it already. I thought Weds was D Day!

[fridayflash]

show us a pic as it sits in your carport wickle.. sure was a good score
(tinney bastard mutter mutter etc) hehe

[psyguy]

ok now, how does someone FIND something like that, other than off trademe for $4000 ???

what's the mileage (if reliable) and how many owners?

[flyingcrocodile46]

If you paid less than $2000 you stole it. $2500 would have been fair. I say you saved a thou on your thou. You did very well and yeah! the bars are out. Half that rise and a bit less pull back is the way

looks like two/three owners with a number of speedo changes, as for finding bikes like this,well other members of Classic Club know want I gather, therefore I have 100 plus pairs of eyes and ears out there.

Believe it or not he took it to last Hamilton swap meet, but someone who was interested in it upset him so he dug his toes and brought it back to Napier
