Ms peel and Trixie for sale on Facebook

Well guys I'm the lucky one that bought the bikes. I placed a call to Billy and we made the deal. I saw the post about 9:00 am and was on the road at 10:45 am. Wife went with me, I ended up driving till 3:00 am the next day and that made it about an hour and a half from his place. Super nice guy that also has motorcycles as well and was asked by another person if he wanted to buy the parts. He didn't know Steve but was the one that put up the Facebook post. I'll put up some pictures soon.

He spent years working on that bike, invested every dime, still far from finished,
and the way he intended to use it, it wouldn't have lasted a week..

I was very surprised that the engine was never started, and although the outside of the gearbox looked old it's new on the inside. Wish I knew that as I took the outer cover off and wonder if I can get indexed proper? I'm also wondering if the blower was even used. The only nuts and bolts that were tight were the ones on the engine, all others were finger tight.

There are more threads on this by Steve buried in the forum, but here’s a good one. It also shows Steve’s rather unique ideas with regards to styling.

That knife on there cut Billy in a bad way, made me feel bad.
 
I'm still having problems with posting pictures, it won't take my file type. Use to be easy. I have both bikes torn apart and am cleaning them up. Going on vacation this Tuesday and will try again when I get back, It's getting cold around here and I need some warmth. LOL

Is it file type or file size?
I always knock mine back to about 500Kb (PNG or JPEG)

What rob said. If you are trying to post raw files out of a camera just convert them to jpeg. Drag and drop jpegs into the message box using Insert image for VIP members. Don't pay any attention to the thumbnail image below the larger one in the message box editor. The thumbnail image will go away when you post. If you delete the thumbnail, the image you want to post goes away. That got me a few times early on. If that makes no sense it might later.
