I’ve put my ‘61 G80CS up on Bring a Trailer if anyone wants to watch the action. It’s a great bike, but not as everyday capable as the Commando. Here’s the link: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1961-matchless-g80cs/
Thanks GP. It’s a great bike, but I can buy a lot of parts for my next build with the cash. I miss all you guys since my Commando has been finished.Dang, that's a BEAUTY!
Hope you get top dollar...
Cut it out, I'm blushing...I didn't want to say that, but I was thinking the very same..... Much too fine to envision another person caressing those beautifully maintained surfaces and showing them off to strangers.... Then permitting them to hear and see her run.... perhaps mount and ride her.
How many years have you owned it?I made about $300.00 not counting my labor, which is a win. My bike fund is back in the black. Malcolm Smith was one of the bidders. I wish he had gotten it.
I really agree with your “predates my chronological sweet spot” statement. Others I’ve rebuilt outside that “spot”, shortly after were sold.I owned it only since past March GP. I always wanted one and really enjoyed getting it running right, but when I rode it a bit I realized that it predates my chronological sweet spot. I ended up taking the Commando for spirited riding and /5 for grocery hauling. If it was more of a beater I might have kept it for poking around on.
