Twice here, three or four times on DTT. I don't know what's taking them so long on the XS board.
don't forget about cafe racer.net...Not sure if he got the boot or left with tail between legs.  Those weren't takin any #$%*.
If it works good, it looks good...

I wish I lived nearby to take a spin on this bike. And then post the video.

Ok I asked to take it for a spin. Hopefully this weekend. 

Got some info from the seller.
Less then 500miles on the tires
Headers under the wraps were sealed with ceramic clear. Does that mean the wraps will come right off? Original seat,tank, side panels and airbox come with. Not sure about tac/odometer and electrical.

Oh I asked and seller could not confirm 80mph in second. 

I need to find a GoPro for this weekend

After this post I finally figured it out.  The speedometer face is on backwards - probably starts at 110 on the left. ;)

Thats hogwash. Either the Seller is not JW, or JW lied to the Seller and he in turn is lying to you. (Perhaps unintentionally).

I'm emailing with the seller. No ig photo links or mention of (ex)model wife.  Seller is talking about the bike not himself so I'm pretty sure it's not him selling it.

That might be the case.  I'd ask who did the work on the bike.  Ask silly things like, why did you go to the expense of new rims/spokes but not polish/blast the hubs?

No one bests Animal
If the urban legend is true then from what I heard is that the inspiration for "Animal" on the Muppets was Kieth Moon. Don't quote me on that but it is believable.

I love how the wild motorcyclist went off on a tangent based on Joey Dunlop's looking similar to Keith Moon.  Random as heck, but I like it.

How about a GoFundMe page that everyone contributes $ to, the video gets posted here after the "target" donation is reached, and then Trench can donate that money to the SOHC Forum? Everyone WINS!!!

But, we surely need good video of the bike and "Seller" and a transcription of the conversation had.

I'm in for $10  :)
