Unbelievable, this bike has had no factory recall work done, and the engine isn't even run in yet! I think I better buy a lottery ticket.............

Just checked on it. It's up to $30,000, right now with 6 days to go. This could be very intresting.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #9 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:02:43 PM »

That is truly amazing, it went up 11 thousand bucks since I posted this thread! If I did win the lottery I'd ride the hell out of that bike, I know that will only reduce it's value, but I don't care, I hate the thought of that poor bike sitting in a Museum with a dust cover over it, longing to be out on the open road!

Hey, Terry if you win the lottery you could afford an annual refurbish.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:26:50 PM »

Ha ha, hell Bob, if I win the lottery I'll have my hot female chauffer ride it while I sit on the back smoking a cuban ceegar and waving to all the poor people!

Terry - that would make a nice addition to your collection!

Did you notice the dumb question someone asked him: Would you swap some motors for it?!?

hoodellyhoo · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2010, 07:50:19 PM »

I wonder why Vic is selling it?

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2010, 08:08:27 PM »

Ha ha, yeah I saw that mate, but I think it was someone with some sandcast engines and parts looking to do a "part trade" deal, I know Vic is a wheeler-dealer and might have been interested, so I'm guessing he wants the money? Cheers, Terry.

wannabridin · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2010, 06:24:31 AM »

33K, i wonder what the reserve is, 35K??

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2010, 06:45:13 AM »

Yeah, the guy who withdrew his bid might have just been "fishing", before he retracted it, it was $36250 with reserve met. Cheers, Terry.

A friend sold his on ebay went to a collector in Japan. I wonder if this one is going home too

Confucius say; if something is too good to true........it usually is.

My doubts;

Brake discs: a little too much scouring for well under 500 miles
Tyres: over 40 years old and still fresh and supple looking?? Mine were 10 years younger and looked like pre-cast concrete and faded and mouldy and scabby.
Leaking Carbs: Cracked carb body?? How the F*ck did that happen?? somebody take a hammer to it?
Paintwork: Just looks too fresh and unblemished for 40+ years...even in a barn and covered with a dust sheet.

Having said all that, I know what my wet dream's gonna be about tonight.
