'02 MV Senna '03 Tiger (FOYRNB) '96 Tiger '79 Fantic 250

 

Champ came up with the following;:

There's also a belly pan with the fairing ... top right of the four
pictures.

I guess real ones may be unobtainium, but jeez, 1010 euro for a couple of
bits of fibreglass and a manual.

 

<fx: roll of drums, spotlights>

Ladeez and Gennelman, I give you: Champ!!! Not the fastest, but he gets
there in the end.

 

"Verkleidungssatz" und "Schwarz/rot.Lenkerverkleidung und Motorspoiler."

Fairing (literally, clothing) set, black/red handlebar fairing and motor
spoiler. (...with fittings and screws.)

Oh ****, and to think how many of those I butchered and threw out
because I thought they looked like shit.

 

I'll see your blimey, and raise you a 'kinell. Twice.

Shee-yit. For a grand and a half I'd get the biggest aftermarket top box
I could find, and then throw it at an art college and tell them to bling
it up.

 

The thing to do would be to buy up kit like GL1500 Interstates, which are
particularly unloved because they lack reverse, and part them out.

 

<Pushes calculator buttons thoughtfully>

You know, the first tranche of spares from my double 400 Four purchase
last week is already over £200 on Ebay, and the auctions don't time out
until Sunday evening.

There really is more money in spares than complete bikes, if the bikes
are the "right" ones (ie: ones whose spares are hard to get, or bloody
expensive or both).

And I've got boxes more stuff in the garage for next week and the week
after.

In fact, I had to buy 10 bucks' worth of extra bandwidth for my ftp
hosting because I'd had so many hits that I was about to run out of
space.

No bids on the running bike yet, but plenty of watchers.

 

then only thing I don't really like is the tendency for repairable bikes to
get broken for spares, and thus lost permanently. but then again, if no-one
wants 'em...

 

Which is the way I see it. Of course, sooner or later you must reach a
point of no return....
