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!!!!!!!

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Now that is "Vintage" it has been fermenting in the back field for decades, but then the guy posting has been into the fermented beverages too if you ask me.

Does it come with the dirt I have to excavate to remove it from the yard?

Sadly if I had the space, I'd pay $20 for it to put it in my backyard as a sculpture.

Actually if it was local I'd seriously bid like Hell for it as it would be a great garden sculpture. :)

EDIT: $121 notes for that! no way....... ;D

Bargain at the price.
The new owner can sit in the bar for years to come and give the old "I-found-an-old-rusted-frame-some-dickhead-was-selling-and-I-built-a-Brough Superior 1934-out-of-it." yarn.
And they'll be buying him drinks just to tell the story over and over again. :D :D

Nort sure what that is, or how much US that is, but it seems cheap..
 i bet the rack and rear pulley will bring more that that..

 Wish I could buy even 1  frame forging for my 14 HD motor for that price... >:(... let alone most of a frame and & more...
