eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Cat B without a doubt.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Honestly would it surprise if it sold though???

I watched a old BMW R60 or the like that was sold as a "rat rod" IE totally fucked with wiring everywhere etc etc sell for nearly 1k you can get a minter for a little over a bag of sand...

That's done a few backflips n somersaults seriously fucked and hit something solid to stop it completely, makes you wonder if it was revving it's nuts off before the kill switch was hit.
Ouch!
