Negotiations with the minister of war and finance were short, but successful :grin:

I might have been wrong, the timing seems perfect. Watch this space. ;-)

Not sure how I'm going to go here. I'm going to check the bike out tomorrow morning. I might be keen and all but I don't think this bike is any where near worth what he's even agreeing to (not that this has stopped me in the past :lol: ). There is obvious damage and parts missing. It would be a good spares bike, but then what if I just put the money into the bike I have?

Hmmmmmm, decisions, decisions...... :?

Either way, by tomorrow morning I'll have a result one way or another.

I guess it all depends on what you need and if the donor bike can be parted out to recoup the outlay. The seat looks a bit dodgy. the fairing is a bit crook too. may be interested in the 4-1 if theres no holes.

I'm sure that seat doesn't belong to that bike. The front fairing is....just....weird. I have no idea where the fark it's come from. The airbox has been removed and there's a side cover missing. Nice dent in the fuel tank.

IF it comes to being in my possession we'll talk about the zorst :kuda:

that front fairing looks like it could be a 'Typhoon' style 1/2 fairing ? These were sort of kinda popular back in the 80's.

That seat is off something like a VTR250 or something. Whatever - it will need to be binned.....
