Slow and steady may win the race, but without loud and fast it's just a waste

not yet.
this one is on ebay as now.
the problem over here is that some seem to think that these are worth a small forune even for a wreck like this one..

is it really worth $1,130? not in my book it isn't. my last one cost me $730 and complete.
complete none runners fetch well over $2200,
the problem is that I just find it hard to make a decision on what I fancy and what I need if you get what I mean.
also I'm no longer in a position to throw money into a project any more with working for myself.
some folks seem to think I make good money! :lol: just enough to keep my head above water.
at 62 years of age working for some one,I have as much chance of Nelson getting his eye back in getting a job.
with my current bike I'm very happy,it does every thing that I want.
like the old saying what my heart want my head think differently.
I also like the Kawasaki W650 so that is another option which might be a better than a two stroke in terms of parts availability.
anyway I'll keep my eyes open.
I should've taken the offer when I had the chance off Peter Odell when he had a GT500 ripe for resto but good running engine ..never mind.

Chase down a title before you turn a wrench on it! You don't give a location in your info so not sure what the laws are like where you live. Some states have a process to get a replacement title and some do not (like NJ where I live).

Good luck!
