Optimistic sellers

Not at all. You see you forgot about it, then one day it gets snapped up. so the expression fits. A bomb you've forgotten about still goes boom.

Reminds me of movie Hot Fuzz where they confiscated a WW2 sea mine and held it at the Police station. . .

So many pictures but maybe it only has a Right hand side? Actually looks funky for a soozuk

Often the case. I wonder if it is just the sidestand causing this?

Just one burning question. . . https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/3888863557

The answer that you're looking for is that the author of that atrocity should be shot with a ball of his own shit.

a thousand pages of sniping, WTF? whinging and moaning. Good job lads, keep it up.

I was going to say , sorry Beekeeper, I sniped the 1000 page header by accident.

But re the Beemer with the badly made pipes, my burning question was merely "Ouch! Who designed the pipes at thigh level?!?@@#!!"


There's a fine line between Unique, and Oh. . . I guess I didn't think about that. .

375 pages for me, I think I have my view set to 40 posts per page.

"Labour of love" or a nightmare. They'll need a variety of expertise to get that lot sorted.

a (very) long time ago* I went up to the mezzanine floor of Whites in Dixon Street to look at used bikes - it was almost like that.

*Long go enough that Garry Gill was selling bikes there and offered me a look.

Bloody 'ell... You are an old bugger.

There is/was a small vehicle collection in Te Kopuru. I say that cos I heard the old guy died recently. Whoever was telling me that also told me that it was all getting sold off. All the mezzanine floor was bikes, mostly pom stuff but there was one downstairs, a mid sixties Triumph Tiger still in the crate. The lid was loose and he showed us but 5 decades of dust had accumulated and it needed some kind of attention I guess. So, not sure if it has been sold or what but interesting. What would it be good for tho, still in the crate? The sides and top were ply so you could only look down upon. I think they come packed complete but front wheel off?

Wow that first one got crashed early!

[F5 Dave]

So the talk of my mates while away is that the DR650 should be reintroduced with ABS as people are asking silly money for high mileage bikes as you can't get them new. . . They reckon it will happen.

That first one is shite though.

Probably need fuel injection too, and all the fluff that goes with it. It'd still only have an analog speedo though...

My 2004 DR650 rally is currently worth 20k if your lookin.

a $7k Royal Enfield Himalayan is functionally equivalent and significantly cheaper, surely?
