I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

This bike has sat for too long and needs a good home. Engine has dry seized it seems and apart from that point it is a runner.

So aside from not running at all it is a runner?


Pipes look like new reproductions to me, not NOS, but it is hard to tell.
