Not met reserve?

kommando · Nov 30, 2020

Did not notice that, would not have bothered posting if I had. Who posts a listing for local pickup only during a lockdown and puts a reserve on, why not do a Buy it now for what he wants.

As you say, would make more sense with a 'Buy It Now' price, especially as it's now going round again...

I think the fairing looks more like a Kuhn one. Tank cover seems to be JPN, and the seat looks JPN too

People use local pick up when the item is a pain due to size to ship. Pay with PayPal and pick it up from the front porch.

During a lockdown, IE no journeys unless to and from work or to get shopping etc

The very rich people tend not to live in Croydon for some reason.

Or even the ones who have a job (sorry to all the hard working people who live in Croydon, all 3 of them)

I wonder why... No, I don't.

My ex brother in law used to live there.

Barely. He died 6 months later after moving up to Darbyshire.. Admitted to ER they found grapefruit sized tumor in his bowels. All the dodgy curries caught up with him.

Definitely not the same as the Avon fairings made for the original JPN bikes, and the headlights aren't Lucas, either.

Didn't know Kuhn made a fairing so similar to the JPN style that Norton produced.

I have a Sprint JPN copy, and it appears to be the same.

The seat and the tank cowling, I have no idea who they might have been manufactured by.

The headlight mountings/cut outs were different. I have a Sprint one, it has Cibie Halogens. I have 2 Kuhn versions like the one in the ad, both have candles for headlights and different mountings

The irony of the second chapter of the Gus Kuhn Commando story is that the eponymous Mr Kuhn was dead and gone by the time ‘his’ race team was enjoying high-profile success in the later 1960s and early 1970s, successes that led to the road-going vers
