I agree. I'm going to be in the same boat, price-wise. I suppose the positive is I can buy something that will also be cheaper.

If you're using T bars 8 feet is wide as you should go, 6 is better if you're using wire farm fencing. I have a weighted tube pounder and they go in pretty well.

It resembles the BMW G650 X-Country, which sold like expired milk. Not a bad bike, but more suited to Brit/Euro green-lane riding, especially as a 350. Actually, the BMW would be quite suitable for plonking around out here in the Northumberland hills and east.

Very cool restoration project, and a pretty rare model. Great find! But as a life long Guzzi fan (though never an owner - yet) a Vetter fairing of any design seems a stylistic mismatch and perhaps outright heresy. Just me and my preconceived notions.

I don't know. Doing that will probably mean that he's throwing the stuff out in a few years after it's been kicking around in the way. Unless the bits will fit a decent range of years then the pool of prospective buyers could be a bit small.

This just looks like a bad idea, but the engine might be worth the money for someone. https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/1003564054535099/?ref=share_attachment

Not sure it's a bargain, or even reasonably priced... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/993407956105371/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks But it's rare and pretty cool, and of course completely impractical.

I keep the receipts for parts etc. and note the mileage when the work was done.

It is, but I think he was referring to the one that was on 35 at Orno. It's also long gone. The building is still there and was opened as a pub for a few months.

Did you mean to type blow it UP?

Well at least you're getting attention. Maybe that means a real buyer will come along.

Speaking of seals you recommended SSS Suspension (Joe) to me a while back for servicing/rebuilding the rear shock on my KTM 1090R. THANK YOU!! It was a GREAT recommendation. Joe did the work very quickly and at a very reasonable price. Relating to the fork seal discussion: While chatting with...

I unloaded the 1982 BMW R100RS I bought in January. I had left it on the trailer to keep it out of the path of mice and it did. I also overloaded the building with agricultural grade poison bait and traps back then and will continue the bait. It's single feeding bait, so as long as they can't...

2 years ago at the Airport bike show I saw a customized HD along the lines of the one pictured. It was a showcase for the products that this company made and/or sold. I gotta say it was pretty cool....not cool enough for the money but cool.

I think it also matters WHAT bike you're selling and WHO you're selling it to. People on this forum are interested in specific types of MC. Whether it's off road, dual sport, adventure etc. we as a group don't need to be sold on a particular genre/model because we're looking for it. We may be...

I agree with Adri. What he's talking about isn't a little thing. The background in his first 2 pictures frame the bikes well and put them in a nice setting and it leads your eye to the bikes. The 3rd one focusses your eye on the bike immediately. When I looked at MP's ad I noted that the front...

Well said and a fair point. Having that FXR with modern brakes and decent suspension would have been cool, but I'd already decided that it wasn't really a rural road burner no matter what I did.

I know where you're coming from, but unless you can get the better suspension for free, have a money tree or have decided that the HD is a forever bike don't bother. I had a 1999 super glide, and I liked it for all the reasons you like your sportster. Metal, visceral, mechanical and fun in it's...

Lovely bike. I think dealers can be motivated to move on price, particularly in trying financial times. Inventory is only worth something when you sell it, and when you've got overhead and expenses you need to move product. A private seller, particularly with some brands can set a high price...

I saw an article somewhere about damage to phones from vibration when mounted to motorcycles. A vibration dampened mount is crucial I think if you're using your phone. Personally, I don't seem to take direction well. I tend to meander from place to place, only following a set route when...
