they're trying to sell an ugly moto guzzi

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.

Pretend all you want. :)) This isn't attractive, and it's not worth $60k.



That's not an original goot-see
But that front brake is worth a few bills by itself.  At least, it was when left original.
I'd still ride the piss out of it.

Right

I'd never even consider paying $60K, but it has some nice sheet metal work and bits.  It's probably a fun ride.

What kind of a moron builds a bike with modern upside down forks and then installs a crappy antique 4LS front brake? Someone who doesn't know that it's about half as good as the original Brembo brakes it replaced, that's who! What a d1ck.......... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I'd bet much of that price tag is to pay for the fabricator work.  Apparently they didn't get the "for a friend" rate.

Think of all the steering dampers you could buy with $800   ;D



hahaha

If I look at her long enough, will she take her top off? ;D

I don't think so mate, unfortunately. And I've been looking for a bloody long time... ;D

Watch the movie Under the Skin for that. Strange movie, but ScarJo boobs.
