That last one has to be the coolest mongrel I've seen in years.

Yessir, it's a rare, race-winning vintage featherbed!

...and I'll bet it was running when it was parked...

Shameless self promotion, take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... :MESELX:IT

I don't expect it will have any bites, but let me know what you think of my listing :mrgreen:

Hmmmmmm....

If i got a dollar each for all my spare Dunlop rims, I'd have enough for steak & lobster this evening. i suppose I'll sell them one day...

Nice advert, not overly done and definitely descriptive.

The legs could be an added bonus, but anyway http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/mcy/1924742519.html

That guy brought the chopper to out Norton club meeting once. He's been trying to sell it for a long time. So far the legs have done nothing for the sale. :mrgreen:

I think a different paint job would help sell that bike.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

HMmmm, typical of my thought pttern, I didn't even see the bike since I was drawn to the legs first and assumed it was the same bike he is trying sell.
