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

). 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

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.....
